Solaris permission problem(newbie)



First, the permission of /var/tmp and /tmp should be 0777.
RWX for everyone. 
Secondly, some software hard codes /tmp and /var/tmp and /usr/tmp. 

If you moved /var/tmp elsewhere, you should make sure it has the correct 
permissions.

Also, files in /var/adm generally are read/write by root only.
