    I got lots of responses.
    May Thanks to Scott, Andrew, John and Chamkura. Sepcial thanks to John
    Benjamins as his solution worked great without any copy, ftp or CD.

    Scott
    -------

    You can always boot from cdrom and change it.

    Andrew Hall
    ------------
    scp a copy of chmod from another server to /tmp/

    /tmp/chmod 755 /bin/chmod
    /bin/chmod 755 test1
    rm /tmp/chmod

    John Benjamins
    ------------------
    As root, do something like this:

    cd /tmp
    mkdir bin
    cd bin
    (umask 000 ; cp -p /bin/ls mychmod )
    (umask 000 ; cp /bin/chmod mychmod )
    ./mychmod +x /bin/chmod

    Chamkura
    ---------
    Tar it and ftp to another box. Change the permission and ftp back as
    tar.

    As root, do something like this:

    cd /tmp
    mkdir bin
    cd bin
    (umask 000 ; cp -p /bin/ls mychmod )
    (umask 000 ; cp /bin/chmod mychmod )
    ./mychmod +x /bin/chmod

    Thanks a lot.

    My Original Question was:

    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
