Startup problems.

[Fred Myers]

I have several 10.20 servers that seem to have a problem with the /sbin/auto_parms if the permissions are not 444 it causes several error messages to appear at startup, sometimes even hanging the box. Now for some reason this file changes permisions, it seems to do that if I reboot the box any other way than with a shutdown -ry now. IE even if i let swinstall reboot the box.

Thanks

Search /etc/rc.config.d and /sbin/init.d for auto_parms to see if one of your startup/shutdown programs are changing the permissions.

Actually the permissions
should be 744
-r-xr--r-- 1 bin bin 27637 Oct 27 1997 /sbin/set_parms

Actually set_parms is called
only by the /sbin/init.d/set_date script during the startup process. Can you point out
what the errors are?
Look at the /etc/rc.log file.

curious indeed. As Harry
suggested, do
grep set_parms /sbin/init.d
and see what files are invoking this guy.
