APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Linux shared library calls are resolved via the links directory even when binary is neither owned by root nor when the binary is root SUID. This unexpected variance in rpath/runpath causes Tivoli process failures when executing non-root binaries on a linux 2.4-based kernel (RH3 and SUSE8).
Local fix
Detailed Recreation Procedure: Run a non-root, non-SUID Tivoli Monitoring process on RH3 or SUSE8 Related Files and Output: RAS1 log of Tivoli Monitoring process shows hang or fault.
Problem summary
Linux shared library calls are resolved via the links directory even when binary is neither owned by root nor when the binary is root SUID. This unexpected variance in rpath/runpath causes process failures when executing non-root binaries on a linux 2.4-based kernel (RH3 and SUSE8).
Problem conclusion
Code was modified to add DT_RUNPATH in addition to DT_RPATH, to facilitate proper pathing when executing non-root binaries. Tivoli Monitoring processes must re-build with this SDK for this fix to be effective. The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance vehicle: | fix pack | 6.2.1-TIV-ITM-FP0002 | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0002
Temporary fix
Change binary ownership to root or root SUID.
