Hi,
I got a lot of useful solutions. Thanks to all those who have
replied and provided suggestions/solutions.
I have applied James' solution (a few others too provided the same
solutions);-
I booted the sytems through net from my boot server into single
user mode, mounted the actual '/' filesystem onto /mnt and apllied the
permissions on /mnt/tmp (which is the /tmp on the actual root filesystem)
using chmod 1777.
This has solved the problem.
Thanks once again to all those who have provided valuable
solutions/suggestions.

My original posting:-
Hi,
I have a few workstations installed with solaris 8 using
jumpstart, which are having problem with the permission modes of the
/tmp.
Actually I had a tmp directory in the jumpstart directory with 400
permission modes.
After I identified the problem I had corrected the jumpstart
directory and now all my new installations have the /tmp permissions
perfectly fine.
However, for these few machines, which were installed with
improper jumpstart configuration, the /tmp permission is still a
problem.
If I change the permission on the /tmp to 777, it gets reset to 400
again
after a reboot, and I have to set the permissions again.
Can anyone suggest me how I can make the permission mode change
persistent across the reboots?
I know I can solve the porblem by doing a reinstall of these
machines, but I don't want to do it.
Is there any way of solving the problem?
Regards
Shyam Kumar M
