Hi everyone,
Need help with an issue. The group ownership of files on my Solaris system is getting changed automatically. Could someone tell me the reason why? And how could I correct it? One more info- everytime the ownership changes, it changes to "x".
Thanks :confused: (1 Reply)

Hi Friends,
I am using RHEL5.3 64bit. I have a data filesystem on this, which have lot of files copied from another server. I cannot see correct owner and group displayed for these servers. It shows 113 for owner and 755 for group. Anybody please tell me why it is?
Regards,
