APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The remove-ssmagent script is meant to be installed with mode 700 (executable) but only gets mode 600 if installed as non-root on AIX.
Local fix
chmod 700 remove-ssmagent ./remove-ssmagent
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of SSM 4.0 on AIX **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If installed as non-root, remove-ssmagent is given mode 600 instead of 700 on AIX **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Upgrade to Fix Pack 9 for SSM 4.0. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The wrong file mode of "remove-ssmagent" was due to an earlier command (the AIX service registration) failing as a fatal error. Therefore the chmod 700 statement was never reached. This is now resolved as service subsystems (AIX, Solaris 10) are ignored by the installer if it is running as non-root. As non-root, the installer/uninstaller attempts to use the init script only. In SSM 4.0 Fix Pack 9, the remove-ssmagent script is explicitly changed to mode 700 when the fix pack is installed. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 4.0.0-TIV-SSM-FP0009
