Hello,
No answers from the list on this one. DEC helped me on this. Rather
easy fix.
Seemed there was an old cache file in /var/tmp with a different owner
for the particular
file it was trying to create. After deleting the cache file, the user
logged in and
the process was able to create a cache file with no problem.
A helpful command was /usr/dt/bin/sdtdbcache -init to figure out what
cache file it was trying
to create.
