Operating Systems Solaris what is the difference between /etc/mnttab and /etc/vfstab Post 302529321 by bartus11 on Thursday 9th of June 2011 04:38:34 AM

I think you could boot your Solaris host from CD, then mount root slice and change permissions there, then reboot. But I think you won't notice the change after reboot, as /etc/mnttab is a mountpoint for mnttab memory based filesystem (after mounting it by the system, permissions on the mountpoint change to those of the mounted FS).
