Model script related question
Hey fellow bit pushers,
I have been seeing an odd problem on a few of my systems and was wondering if any of you have seen it on your systems and possibly know why it happens.
We have a custom model script for a printer on our systems. This model script is just a standard ksh script but it calls a few compiled c programs to parse the -o options from lp as well as parse the c* file in /var/spool/lp/request/<printer> to find the name of the original file being printed. Some times on some of our systems after a reboot, the permissions of these binaries have been set from 550 to 440. The permissions on the actual model script in all it's various locations remains unchanged. It's like something is looking at our model script, finding all the binaries we are calling, and then chmoding them. This does not happen on all our systems and does not happen consistantly. As a work around I have written a script in /sbin/rc2.d to chmod them back to 550 after a reboot.
I have racked my brains out and HP wasn't any help (they tried hard though and I give them credit for that). I have been through all startup and shutdown scripts to no avail. I have been through every log on the system I could find and I can find no hint as too why this happens. I guess it might just be Unix Voodoo.
Thanks for any suggestions or answers,
Tony
