Solaris : Non-root user can’t run prtdiag command

By admin

The Problem

Non-root user can’t run prtdiag command, but it works for root user

# /usr/sbin/prtdiag
picl_initialize failed: Daemon not responding

The Solution

The issue is caused by wrong permission of file /var/run/picld_door or directory /var/run. Set the permission of file /var/run/picld_door or directory /var/run as follow:

# ls -l /var/run/picld_door
dr--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 10 14:21 /var/run/picld_door
# ls -ld /var/run
drwxr-xr-x 6 root sys 1261 Nov 10 14:21 /var/run

For Solaris 11

On Solaris 11 /var/run is a link to /system/volatile

# ls -ld /var/run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 26 2013 /var/run -> ../system/volatile

Set the permission of directory /var/run as follow:

# ls -lLd /var/run
drwxr-xr-x 16 root sys 4366 Jan 10 08:30 /var/run
