Error description

  • When migrating a AIX 5.3 client with the bos.compat.links
    fileset installed, the mkuser.default and mkuser.sys
    files
    are replaced by reciprocating links.  For example:
    Before migration:
    # find / /usr -xdev
         \( -name mkuser.sys -o -name mkuser.default \) -ls
     lrwxrwxrwx  /etc/security/mkuser.default
                 -> /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default
     lrwxrwxrwx  /etc/security/mkuser.sys
                 -> /usr/lib/security/mkuser.sys
     -rw-r-----  /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default
     -rwxr-x---  /usr/lib/security/mkuser.sys
    
    After migration:
    # find / /usr -xdev
         \( -name mkuser.sys -o -name mkuser.default \) -ls
     lrwxrwxrwx /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default
                -> /etc/security/mkuser.default
     lrwxrwxrwx /usr/lib/security/mkuser.sys
                -> /etc/security/mkuser.sys
    # lppchk -f
    lppchk: 0504-206  File /etc/security/mkuser.default
                  could not be located.
    lppchk: 0504-206  File /etc/security/mkuser.sys
                  could not be located.
