Hi Govind,

See if the file /usr/sbin/config is owned by bin:bin with 555 permissions. Compare it with another system.

hi sri,

ll /usr/sbin/config
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 48128 Oct 1 21:17 /usr/sbin/config

its the same in other system also.

regards,
Govind.

/etc/config is a link.
# ll /etc/config
lrwxr-xr-t 1 root sys 16 Oct 8 2003 /etc/config -> /usr/sb
in/config

What are the results of:
# what /etc/config

The link might be broken or the file may be corrupt.

[Govinda]

# ll /etc/config
lr-xr-xr-t 1 root sys 16 Apr 12 2004 /etc/config -> /usr/sbin/config

feels likw this file is corrupted..

how do i resote/recreate this file

regards,
Govind

Do you have it on a backup?

By chance a make_tape_recovery? If so,
# cd /
# mt fsf 1
# tar xvf /dev/rmt/0mn usr/sbin/config
# mt rew

Alternatively you can copy it from another system that is alike in version.
The file is originally installed with the OS-Core.CORE-KRN fileset.
