RMstart.log and /var/tmp/snmpd.log's permissions

  • 1.  RMstart.log and /var/tmp/snmpd.log's permissions

    Posted Fri October 28, 2022 09:03 AM
    Hi,

    Last year, following IBM's security setup requirements, the following files were changed from 644 to 640:

    /var/ct/RMstart.log
    /var/tmp/snmpd.log

    However, as we checked this year's security health check, file's permission backed to 644.

    Not all of the modified AIXs were backed to 644,
    but will this file be automatically returned?.

    For example by OS reboot.
