uuidgen throwing error while executing

[Anil Kumar Malepati]

uuidgen throws the following error (when executed with the normal user i.e without root permissions

The uuid_create call failed with the following error:
No IEEE 802 hardware address (dce / rpc)

But when executed with root, it works properly.

Anil,

Check permissions /owner /group on the following:

/dev/lan0
/dev/dlpi

#ll/dev/lan0
crw-------1root root 770x000000May1308:32/dev/lan0

#ll/dev/dlpi
crw-------1rootsys720x000077Oct312001/dev/dlpi

Changed them to the following:

#ll/dev/lan0
crw-------1rootroot770x000000Jun319:39/dev/lan0

#ll/dev/dlpi
crw-rw-rw-1rootsys720x000077Oct312001/dev/dlpi

Regards,

Jaime.
