Hi Guys,
We are on AIX 6.1 and MB version 7.

We installed teh broker in a seperate filesystem called /apps/wmb.

Broker is created and started with the user 'mbadmin'.

When I look into this installation location, I see files/ directories are owned by root, mqm and bin. Wondering mbadmin/ runtime service will able to use the binaries installed with root?.

Code:
-r--r--r--    1 root     system         3638 Aug 16 2007  ws.ico
-r--r--r--    1 root     system         3638 Aug 16 2007  exerciser.ico
-r--r--r--    1 root     system         3638 Aug 16 2007  console.ico

You'd imagine it has execute authority if that listing is any clue.

Thanks Vitor for the clue.

The above directory is owned by bin user belonging to bin user group. That sounds strange to me.

I am just trying to understand the internals.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks.

Well my thoughts, as expressed above, are that there should be no problem with that user using those binaries as it clearly shows public read & execute authority.

Now I don't have a Unix broker install to hand (never one around when you need one) but I do seem to recall that WMB files were owned by the running user last time I did one. Not sure if that's right or if it's a requirement but I'm sure someone else will be along in a minute.
