Hi,
I have executed kctune command with a normal user but i get this message error:
$ /usr/sbin/kctune
ERROR: The command is unable to lock the configuration 'current' for
reading: open: Permission denied

Hi,

It looks you are not having permission to execute the command kctune.

Either you need to give excute permission or use ACL

Thanks for reply,

here is permission for kctune:
ll /usr/sbin/kctune
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 780036 Jan 4 2008 /usr/sbin/kctune
And other think:that i can execute it in another server.

regards

Check permissions on the /stand/current directory and its contents. You probably do not have permissions there for some reason.

Here are the permissions for /stand/current and its contents one of my systems.

# ll -d /stand/current
drwxr-xr-x 5 root sys 1024 Sep 12 15:25 /stand/current/

# ll /stand/current
total 55408
drwxr-xr-x 5 root sys 1024 Sep 12 15:25 ./
dr-xr-xr-x 7 bin bin 1024 Sep 19 16:54 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Sep 12 15:25 .config

usually a non-root user wouldn't be changing the kernel parms (imho).

the issue is not with the permissions on kmtune, but the current as Patrick (and the error message) pointed out

[bouserg_1]

Hi Patrick
it works now.
I have verified all files and found that
.config file with rw-------
i have modified it to rw-r--r--

thank you ,i'll assign points to you

[bouserg_1]

thank's for your help

Yes but they should be able to look at them.

>the issue is not with the permissions on kmtune

If it is SETUID, then it could be a permission problem.
I think I remember the problem was with the initial versions of it. I assume it was latter patched because I don't remember still having problems with it.
