Full Discussion: cant able to change permission in a DIR as root user
Operating Systems Solaris cant able to change permission in a DIR as root user Post 302321505 by jlliagre on Monday 1st of June 2009 10:54:42 AM

Your directory might me remote (eg: NFS) or on a filesystem mounted read-only (eg: lofs mounted shared directory on a zone).

In the first case, switch to the bin user which owns the directory ans isn't subject to root downgrade to nobody.
In the latter case, you need to have the filesystem remounted read-write if this is possible.

mounted

mounted(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						mounted(7)

NAME

       mounted - event signalling that a filesystem has been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       mounted DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The mounted event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted a filesystem.  mountall(8) will wait for all services started
       by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped before  con-
       tinuing with other filesystems.

       The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.

EXAMPLE

       A tool that should be run after mounting the /tmp filesystem might use:

	      start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp
	      task

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
