Error description
If we enable OS Authentication variable ENABLE_OS_AUTHENTICATION=YES by db2rfe as a root user, db2ckpw file will be owned by root. So the non-root installfixpak fails with the error: db2chglibpath: Unable to open file for write: /home/db2nrusr/sqllib/security/db2ckpw': error: 13(Permission denied)
Local fix
(1) As non-root user, move the file "db2ckpw" to some tmp location: mv ~/sqllib/security/db2ckpw ~/ (2) As non-root user, re-run the installFixPack command as before, but add the "-f level" option: ./installFixPack -b /home/db2nrusr/sqllib -f level (3) As root user, re-run the same db2rfe command as before with the same db2rfe.cfg file used cd /export/home/nonroot/sqllib/instance ./db2rfe -f db2rfe.cfg with INSTANCENAME=<non-root user> ENABLE_OS_AUTHENTICATION=YES At this point, we should be able to run db2start as non-root instance.
