Hi,
I would like to know why MQ series has a restiction in unix to have 777 permissions for some of its files? as MQ process runs with a specific ID can't it be made to have only 755 permissions?
Thanks
Abdul. |

| Because WMQ applications can run as any user ID. |

Usually it's only the error log directories that have such open permissions - because ANYBODY may have to write an error report.
Queues and other sensitive files are normally protected "mqm" read-write only (unless you change it, NOT A GOOD IDEA IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES).
I'm not sure but I think the "partner" process you get when you connect to MQM (the zlaa process), as it is running as MQM, does the writing (after doing some safety checks). If you use MQCONNX to connect (not using a partner process) then you MUST be in the MQM group.
