Has anyone else had this problem? Your analysis is correct (and points out what the problem with sadc was). Your solution is also correct and should be safe. (If someone has permission to write as sys, they already own the system anyway). You may want to edit /etc/perms/rts to indicate the new permissions of /usr/adm/sa. This will keep fixperm from "fixing" your fix out of existence... >Bela<
