In documenting how I want the Server Admins to configure/var/mqm and /var/mqm/log file systems before turning the server over to us for the MQ install, I see in the Infocenter (direct link below) that while it calls out the directory ownership (owned by the user mqm in the group mqm), it doesn't say anything about what the directory permissions should be.
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r5/topic/com.ibm.mq.ins.doc/q008510_.htm
Do we:
A. Ask for chmod 775?
B. Doesn't matter what the permissions are ahead of time as long as the ownership is mqm:mqm, because the WMQ install process will the straighten out the permissions on /var/mqm/log?
C. Some other permissions?
I suggested A to our Sys Admin, he asked if I really meant chmod 2775 and that's when I got a blank stare, started breathing through my mouth and said I'll be right back.
This Technote had a lot of info about permissions, but doesn't answer my question specifically.

When building /var/mqm and /var/mqm/log filesystems ahead of an MQ install, what permissions should we set?

I usually avoid those questions by specifying rwxs for each of owner, group all (rwsrwsrwx) or (rwxrwxrwx) etc...
no blank stare. I know I could translate it into octal... it's just too much of a bother and with the mnemonic I know right away what I have. Don't have to work at it...
Have fun

| Could you look at the files from a queue manager that has been created using the standard crtmqm command - and copy the permissions from there? |

| You want rwxrwsr-x which will cause everything under the directory to have group ownership of mqm. Having said that, the install should make it that. If you are mounting a file system over directories of these names, before you mount them, you may want them owned by root with nobody able to write to them. That way if the mount fails, you won't get files you don't want. |
