I ask that because under Solaris 2.4, the /etc/mnttab is like this (666): % ll /etc/mnttab -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 409 Jan 6 13:25 /etc/mnttab
Ours is mode 644. It has to be readable for things like df to work. Only root needs to be able to write to the file, when mounting file systems, changeing quota, and such.
yup, I noticed this too... I can't remember offhand how I stopped the mnttab having 666 perms; probably a mod to one of the startup files...
Note, that atleast on our system, quotaon sets the mode to 600 and this break the df command (and quota -v for the user if memory serves)
I think I tracked this behaviour down to having root umask of 077. I.e, quotaon sets perms of mnttab to (666 & ~umask). -- Luke Mewburn, <lm () werj com au> ``Think of it as Evolution in Action'' -- 'Oath of Fealty', Niven & Pournelle
