Thanks Jonathan and Jim. I am not sure if this RHEL6 thing or this is a result of starting the installation through Dell SBUU DVD. This DVD does show redhat 6 option. That's why I continued using it. May be booting with RHEL DVd is best way I guess. I can reset the permission once I have answer to one more question. Is there any link between /var/tmp and /tmp I do see, ls -ald /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt. 4 root root 4096 Dec 21 10:59 /var/tmp ls -ald /tmp drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Dec 21 11:03 /tmp No link in between /var/tmp and /tmp Please let me know. ~A On 12/21/10, Jonathan S Billings <jsbillin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 12/21/2010 12:35 PM, upen wrote: >> I am wondering why /tmp perms got setup like this, See below, >> >> ls -ald /tmp >> drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Dec 21 11:03 /tmp > > You need to fix the permissions of /tmp.
