Status: Closed |
REDUCTION IN PERMISSIONS ON THE NODES.REG FILE. |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
Currently the DB2 file nodes.reg is set to have world writable
permission's enabled by default upon installation. The world
writable permission is unnecessary for normal operations and
does not pose a security exposure. This APAR is to remove
the world writable permission from this file because it may
trigger security audit alerts for some customers.
This file is located in the sqllib of the instance owner's home
directory:
ex: /home/db2inst1/sqllib/nodes.reg. |
