Dear Managers,
Our system is a DEC 3000/600 running V4.0Dp4.
A non-root user is running a Korn shell script he owns. During
script execution, /usr/bin/mailx is invoked with another username and
a text file owned by the user with 600 permission is redirected to the
input. mailx blows up with a message like this:
./Rs<process id> : permission denied
If the same mailx command is executed from the command line with
the same user as parameter and the same file as redirected input, it
works perfectly.
The script also (via make) manages to invokes most of my
compilers. DEC compilers work fine in the script. The GNU compilers
(both C and C++) also blow up with this message:
as0: Permission denied
Again, the GNU compilers invoked from the command line on the same
source files work perfectly. The source files are owned by the same
user.
Any ideas?
Larry
