    Hi Gurus,

    I had a problem with chmod on Solaris 2.6. When I try to assign
    permission with chmod it says permission denied. When I checked the
    permission on chmod itself it doesn't have execute permission. This was
    kind of surprising how chmod itself doesn't have execute permission. Now
    I can't assign any permission on that box. Unfortunately this is the
    only Solaris 2.6 box so I can't even copy from other Server. Any help is
    greatly appreciated.

    I will summarize.

    Regards

    B

    bash-2.03# ls -l /usr/bin/chmod

    -r--r--r-- 1 root bin 18236 Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/chmod

    bash-2.03# ls -l test1

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Oct 27 10:43 test1

    bash-2.03# chmod 755 test1

    bash: /bin/chmod: Permission denied

    bash-2.03# . /usr/bin/chmod 755 test1

    bash: .: /usr/bin/chmod: cannot execute binary file
