Hi Joseph,
Thanks for ur reply..But i already did those changes in the file /etc/privgroup.The entries are given below...
gplus MLOCK

and set those settings by "#ssetprivgrp gplus MLOCK"...But the problem didn`t solved ...I am also pasting the output of "getprivgrp"below

xxxxxxx # getprivgrp
gplus: MLOCK

Thanks,
Mitra

hi,

like to verify the "/etc/privgroup" as well:

# cat /etc/privgroup

and also did u run this:

# /etc/setprivgrp -f /etc/privgroup


regards.

[Mitra Bhanu Rath_1]

Hi,
The entries of the the file is as given below...

gep12s02 # cat /etc/privgroup
users MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
dba MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
gemms MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
aupshape MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
#gplus MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
gplus MLOCK


No i didn`t run the command u gave but i used the command
# setprivgrp gplus MLOCK

Will not the above command work...

Thanks..

[Joseph Loo]

hi,

i notice a "#gplus MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY" above "gplus MLOCK".

is it possible to remove that line, "#gplus MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY", and then restart the privilege grouping:

# /sbin/init.d/set_prvgrp start

hope this will solve the problem.

regards.

[Mitra Bhanu Rath_1]

Hi,
Did all those above ....but sorry to say that it is still commin...any other idea..

Thanks

hi,

ok. last resort but not exactly the best way. would you mind setting it globally first to see if the message stop spooling?

# cp -p /etc/privgroup /etc/privgroup.orig
# rm /etc/privgroup
# /usr/sbin/setprivgrp -g MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY

verify use:
/bin/getprivgrp

also could u run this command to verify if the system can handle large text pages:

# echo allow_superpage_text/D | adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem


i just like to confirm if that the group gplus belongs to the oracle db grouping? also, when and what did u do which causes the message to start spooling?

regards.

[Mitra Bhanu Rath_1]

Hi,
First of all thanks to u for continues support.Secondly,I don`t think i will be able to do that.Secondly the group "gplus"
is for one of the user gplftp,which is doing some kind of ftp transfer....Which i am not sure what kind of transfer...also the "oracle" user is also in this group...

Thanks
Mitra
