Error description

  • db2pd works on Soalris 10 U2 but fails on U4. You will get the
    error below:
    .
    $ db2pd
    User must have SYSADM authority to run db2pd.
    .
    

Local fix

  • The Solaris runtime linker will only look at LD_LIBRARY_PATH if
    the path is a trusted path for setuid program.
    .
    The default trusted  path is /usr/lib/secure/64.
    .
    So the customer can do the following workaround.
    1) Create a symblic link for the
       /opt/IBMNASTK/krb5/lib/sparcv9/libkrb5.so.1 to the
       /usr/lib/secure/64.  And add /usr/lib/secure/64 to the
       LD_LIBRARY_PATH to db2pd.
    or
    
    2) Make /opt/IBMNASTK/krb5/lib/sparcv9 as trusted path by
       running crle.
    
    crle -64 -s
    /lib/secure/64/:/usr/lib/secure/64:/opt/IBMNASTK/krb5/lib/sparcv
