Just ran into a strange problem with the old "research ingres" supplied on the Ultrix binary-only distribution tape. Here's the situation: - VAX 8650 running Ultrix 1.2 - the research ingres supplied in /usr/new was working fine until recently. - all of a sudden 'creatdb' gives the following error message if a user types something like: creatdb foo ----------------error message from 'creatdb foo'------------------ mkdir: foo: Permission denied UNIX error: No such file or directory SYSERR: chdir /usr/local/Ingres/data/base/foo: probably bad default mode in mkdir Illegal instruction ------------------------------------------------------------------ - creatdb works fine if you are login or su to 'ingres' or 'root' This was not the case previously. - I checked the protection levels and suid of the various ingres binaries and they all are fine. - I created a new 'users' file to make sure things were set correctly in there. * The only thing that has changed on the system recently is a kernel mod to install the latest version of DECNET (version 1.1.4). We are a binary-only site so I can't look at the source code for anything. I'd appreciate any ideas you net-landers have...thanks...todd Todd Ogasawara, U. of Hawaii Computing Center UUCP: {ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax,dcdwest}!sdcsvax!nosc!uhccux!todd ARPA: uhccux!todd@nosc.ARPA INTERNET: todd@UHCC.HAWAII.EDU
