We are following process to restore permission's on root file system .
Now we have reset.perms.out file on another aix system .
We are trying to copy this file to bad aix system so that we can execute
and restore permission's .unfortunately there is no doswrite/read
commands on target system. since system is booted in maintenance mode
cannot install bos.dosutil file set .
we are trying dd, cpio etc..
Is there a way to copy file from one aix system to another aix system ?
using any other commands than dosread and doswrite ?
or can we bring network up in maintenance mode ? so that we can ftp this
file .
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 1024 Dec 30 08:49 drinfo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 733137 Jan 09 12:34 reset.perms.out.Z (want to copy this file )
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 512 Jan 09 13:23 reset
spcws01@/tmp>
Thanks

Check this out-
it uses a mksysb tape of the damaged system to generate a script to fix
perms-

if you don't have a mksysb tape, you can use the following:
You run the script listed below on A GOOD system with correct
permissions. This will generate a file 'reset.perms.out' which
contains the necessary 'chmod' and 'chown' commands to restore
permissions on the affected system. You can then COPY this file
over to the BAD system and run it.
-- begin script --
#!/bin/ksh
cd /tmp
rm reset.perms.out 2>/dev/null
find / -ls |awk '{print $3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12}'|
awk '{
if ( NF == "9" )
{
printf ("chown %s.%s %s\n",$3,$4,$9)
{
perms=0
if(substr($1,2,1) == "r")
perms = perms + 400
if(substr($1,3,1) == "w")
perms = perms + 200
if(substr($1,4,1) == "x")
perms = perms + 100
if(substr($1,4,1) == "S")
perms = perms + 4000
if(substr($1,4,1) == "s")
perms = perms + 4100
if(substr($1,5,1) == "r")
perms = perms + 40
if(substr($1,6,1) == "w")
perms = perms + 20
if(substr($1,7,1) == "x")
perms = perms + 10
if(substr($1,7,1) == "S")
perms = perms + 2000

perms = perms + 1001

}

Now we are getting messages processes spawning to rapidly ... the box is down. I started working with him to restore this box. What are our options? I know I can restore from mksysb. (He is in doubt about mksysb tape - created one year ago :-) and searching one . Assuming that we don't get mksysb - Can I install AIX from CD and do importvg on whatever volume groups were there? Or is there any way to set / permission's to original one? Thank You SD
