Hi, WMQv5.3 ( with CSD11) software has been installed on a AIX box. I was given root id/pwd, and was aked to create a qmgr. I logged in as root and then did a 'su - mqm' and when I give the command crtmqm it gave me an error message AMQ5653. I looked up in the MQ messages manual and it says I need to create the id mqm and add it to the group mqm. I verified that the id mqm already exists and belongs to the group mqm.
Please help me in identifying the problem here. I have no clue what this is.
Thanks.

Hmm... I've never really encountered this before but here's a few things I would check:
Is there an entry in /etc/passwd for mqm?
Does mqm have a home directory?
What are the permissions/ownership of the mqm home directory?
After su - mqm what does the id command show?
groups?
Using smitty can you change show characteristics of the mqm user?
Was the WMQ5.3.0.11 installation recent? Was it installed using root user authority?
Can you uninstall then re-install MQ on the Server?
Have you looked at the AIX Quick Beginnings guide for WMQ?
Good luck and please post the resolution to this issue once it is resolved. I'm curious to hear how this turns out?

The mqm id didn't have proper permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/group. When we changed the permissions with chmod it all worked fine.
Thanks for your response Smith !
cheers.

I thought that those 2 files were rw for root and read only for everybody else (group, other) ?
ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- root system .......................... passwd

Normally this is the case but that's never stopped anyone with root autority from chmod'ing.

Well I guess it never stopped anybody with root authority from acting stupid either... |

Indeed it does not.

| I ran into almost the same problem last week. The file permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/group were right, but the /etc subdirectory didn't allow access. |
