netstat not working
Hello,

One of the solaris machine in our network is giving an error when the netstat command is executed.

soloman:/home/db2admin->netstat
ip open: Permission denied
can't open mib stream: Bad file number

But it works with root. I couldnt' get any useful info during my search in google.

Here's wht the uname say

soloman:/home/db2admin->uname -a
SunOS soloman 5.8 Generic_117350-30 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80

Can some one help me out?

As the message says, "Permission denied". Check that netstat perms are correct, and make sure it's, at least, 555. Though, in one of my Sun boxes (Sol9) it's 2555... Perhaps you need to set either suid or sgid...

Regards.

soloman:/etc/init.d->l /usr/bin/netstat
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root sys 55180 Jan 7 2004 /usr/bin/netstat
