change the group owner ship to sys for the file /usr/dt/share/backdrops as mentioned in the above report. check the permission of /etc/hosts file and ensure it grants read permission to all.

Hi,

It looks like the permission for /usr/dt/share/backdrops is not proper can you try giving 777 permission?? & the ownership should bin bin
Try giving this your problem should get solved.

/etc/hostts bin bin 100444
/usr/dt/share/backdrops bin sys 40555

- not result

[Rajesh G. Ghone]

Try making bin bin /usr/dt/share/backdrops

[Matveev Dmitry]

When I chown /usr/dt/backdrops bin sys
it appears new WRNING

WRNING: The /usr/dt/backdrops directory is not properly
configured. The current configuration is:

The usual suspect in this case is a problem with host name resolution. You may find some help in one of these threads:

/usr/dt/share/backdrops bin bin 40777
does not help too

[Rajesh G. Ghone · Accepted solution]

Hi,
I ahve seen in my system,1st of all the backdrops directory is not at all linked in my system i dont know how come it is linked there, if it is linked then please see where it has been linked & 2nd thing is in my system ownership is bin bin with the permission dr-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 2048 Sep 28 2002 backdrops,
i think this should give you some idea.

Rajesh G.
