<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all Im entering some scripts to run a
apllication and it requires users others than root to write to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/var/lock/subsys </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am following instructions supplied by another
developer the instructions are as follows</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The script "/etc/rc.d/rc" controlls the change of a
run level. All symbolic links starting with a "K"<BR>("K92mglmr") are taken to
check "/var/lock/subsys" for a lock file named "mglmr". <STRONG>The script
"mglmr"<BR>has to create an empty file in this directory during start up and
delete it on stop. "magicadm" doesn't have properties to write into
this directory. <BR></STRONG>To solve this problem "root" has to change the
properties of "/var/lock/subsys/" to "search/execute<BR>others" : </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <STRONG>chmod o+x
/var/lock/subsys/</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have followed these instructions to the
letter however the user "magicadm" still cannot write to the
directory</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>The error returned is as
follows</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mglmr service start:touch: /var/lock/subsys/mglmr:
Permission denied<BR>Is there something wrong with the command <STRONG>chmod o+x
