Hi,
I'm posting this after brief conversations with geofft and jdreed about
the subject. I am in process of installing a SAS upgrade. SAS requires 3
files to be suid root to operate properly, and this has been done for a
many years by request to ops.
After having this done yesterday, I noticed that I couldn't see the "s"
bit in running ls -l on these files, and found after the conversations
above that suid root files in AFS aren't enabled on debathena.
I'd like to request that they be enabled, at least for cluster, in order
to make SAS work properly.
Thanks,
Alex
