bos.rte.5.2.0.10 - Failure to Install (/usr/lib/methods/cfgsf bad permissions)
I have a RS/6000 B80 which just had a disk failure; I've added a new drive and am in the process of rebuilding. I have reinstalled AIX 5.2 and am now looking to begin updating.
(fyi this will be the second time I have attempted to rebuild this machine, the first time i installed ML 5200-10 and the machine never successfully booted afterwards.)
I have downloaded and began to install ML-01 (5200-01), but have come across the following error:
installp: APPLYING software for:
bos.rte 5.2.0.10
bos.rte.config_u[42]: /usr/lib/methods/cfgsf: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.
update: Failed while executing the bos.rte.config_u script.
0503-464 installp: The installation has FAILED for the "usr" part
of the following filesets:
bos.rte 5.2.0.10
3001-023 The file /usr/lib/methods/cfgsf has the wrong file mode
I have scoured the internet only to find that this problem has only ever occurred once (EVER!!!! or no one has written about it!!), but could not find a solution. I have tried to chmod the script, take the script's entry out of the TCB, neither of which have worked. I have tried to install only bos.rte through 'smit install', tried to find it on the 5.2 cd but it wasn't there.
This is a build system and needs to be back up as soon as possible, but I cannot find an answer to this problem. Can ANYONE help??????

bos_getdate
BOS_GETDATE(8) AFS Command Reference BOS_GETDATE(8)
NAME
bos_getdate - Displays the time stamps on an AFS binary file
SYNOPSIS
bos getdate -server <machine name> -file <files to check>+
[-dir <destination dir>] [-cell <cell name>]
[-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]
bos getd -s <machine name> -f <files to check>+
[-d <destination dir>] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l]
[-h]
DESCRIPTION
The bos getdate command displays the time stamps on the current version," .BAK" version (if any) and ".OLD" version (if any) of each binary
file named by the -file argument. (The BOS Server automatically creates ".BAK" and ".OLD" versions when new binaries are installed with the
bos install command.) The files must reside in the /usr/lib/openafs directory on the server machine named by the -server argument unless
the -dir argument indicates an alternate directory.
To revert to the ".BAK" version of a binary, use the bos uninstall command. To remove obsolete binary files from the /usr/lib/openafs
directory, use the bos prune command.
OPTIONS
-server <machine name>
Indicates the server machine from which to list binary files. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-
qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).
All server machines of the same AFS system type show the same timestamps if the binaries were installed properly on the binary
distribution machine for this machine's system type, and if all other machines of that type are running the appropriate "upclientbin"
process.
-file <files to check>+
Names each binary file to list.
-dir <destination dir>
Specifies the complete pathname of the local disk directory containing each file named by the -file argument. It is necessary only if
the files are not in the /usr/lib/openafs directory.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
bos(8).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket
to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
bos(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
For each file specified with the -file argument, the output displays the time stamp on the current (unmarked), ".BAK", and ".OLD" version.
The output explicitly reports that a version does not exist, rather than simply omitting it.
EXAMPLES
The following command examines the time stamps on the files with basename "kaserver" on the machine "fs2.abc.com":
% bos getdate -server fs2.abc.com -file kaserver
File /usr/lib/openafs/kaserver dated Mon Jan 4 10:00:36 1999.
.BAK file dated Wed Dec 9 18:55:04 1998, no .OLD file.
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
None
