Re: CSCOiscsi install ? Iam baffled -- Summary

Hello All,

Here is brief summary of events and answers to all questions.

Facts: In my case.

1)I was logged in a root. my uid(0) and gid(1) were all what root supposed to have.
2)It was not a NFS share or mounted FS where I was trying to install. In fact on this machine NFS has not been configured and have no plans on using it.


The Problem.

When installing the CISCO iSCSI initiator, the script "CSCOiscsi/install/request" uses "/usr/xpg4/bin/id" to figure out the efective uid, which some how comes out to be "60002", which is the uid of user "noaccess", see the code snippet below between dotted lines. If the same command ran from the command line it shows correct EUID which is "0".

Resolution:
 In the code snippet below from the "request" script I commented out the "exit 1" line, saved the file, ran checksum on it, noted the new chksum values, edited the "CSCOiscsi/pkgmap" file to replace the cksum values for the cksum of "request" script, and it worked just fine.

I still do not know why the script get the EUID of "60002". Hence the subject on email was " I am baffled" wish I had time to investigate and play with it some more, but at this time I am happy with the work around.

Thanks to all who responded, much appreciated.
