PreviouslyPublishedAs 206623 Symptoms Non-root user on a Sun Fire[TM] v1280 system received the following error when trying to run the prtdiag command in the 2/02 release of the Solaris[TM] 8 Operating System. Root on this same system could run prtdiag without any issues. v1280c% ./prtdiag picl_initialize failed: General system failure Resolution Check /var/run/picld_door permissions on the system. Ensure the permissions on /var/run/picld_door are set to 444. Dr--r--r-- root root picld_door If the permissions on /var/run/picld_door are set to something other than 444, there are a few things you can check on the system: - Have JASS scripts been installed on this system? - JASS install logs are usually located in /var or /var/opt. Review these logs to see if any finish scripts have changed the CMASK value. - Check if any setting of UMASK or CMASK value in /etc/default/init. - If JASS scripts are the source of the issue, it is best to undo the JASS finish script changes, then modify the finish script and redo the JASS finish script. Please be aware that /var/run/picld_door is created by /usr/lib/picl/picld on the first initialization of picld following each system reboot. /var/run/picld_door is created using the system's init process cmask value. Relief/Workaround Manually change permissions on /var/run/picld_door to 444.
