setprivgrp dba MLOCK

[Jim Mulshine]

I have used setprivgrp to set the MLOCK privilege for the dba group. After rebooting the server the MLOCK privilege is not set anymore. Is there a standard or recommended method for assigning special privileges to groups at system startup? Do I just need to put an entry in /etc/privgroup ?

Besides putting the entry in /etc/privgroup, verify that /sbin/init.d/set_prvgrp exists and is executable and that the following symlink exists:

/sbin/rc1.d/S400set_prvgrp -> /sbin/init.d/set_prvgrp
