Default File Permissions
On an 11.3 HP-UX system, I noted that the following files gave "world" RWX or RW- permissions
/etc/vx/.vxesd.lock
/etc/vx/dmpevents.log
/etc/vx/cbr
/etc/vx/vold_inquiry/socket
/etc/vx/v...
Hi,
All the files/directories mentioned above are exclusive used by veritas volume manager & all the veritas volume related operations are done by root user or user with root equivalent privileges. The daemons or processes writing to these files would be either of
vxconfigd
vxconfigbackupd
vxesd
vxrelocd
vxnotify
If we look at owners of all these daemons its root:sys. So I would assume it would be OK to reduce write permissions other than root.
However, to be on safe side, I would recommend to try this on a test machine just to ensure nothing breaks after modifying the persmissions.
