One of my BQ servers running BlueQuartz 5100R build 5102R has suddenlyexperienced some symptoms of a corrupted administrative db. I successfully converted the system to use flat files, but the symptomswere exactly the same, e.g. modquota.pl failing: Oct 28 00:45:32 tiger cced(smd)[4293]: handlerhandlers/base/disk/modquota.pl failed. After investigating, I found out that no matter what way I log in asroot, be it console or ssh, I always end up logged as root-admin insteadof root. The problem is the root-admin does not have sufficient group membershipsto handle the required operations: [root (at mark) tiger ~]# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root)groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) [root (at mark) tiger ~]# id root-adminuid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) So to resolve this I gave root-admin the required group memberships fornow, and the machine functions Ok. Another symptom of this is that all files/directories that needs to beowned by root are owned by root-admin, group ownership of 'root' are noteffected. I am not sure were this problem originated, could be one of the BQ-DEVyum updates but I am not sure. Pointers appreciated.
