There is a box on site that we have to support it when no
clients could connect to it. Normally we don't touch it since we don't have root password. The system will reboot
after every backup, it happened couple times when the backup failed. After the system reboot, the file system permission changed to 666 for most of them. No one can login
except root at console. The box is F40 with AIX 4.3.1. I can't find anything like chmod in the backup script. However the script has more than 3000 lines combined with sql scripts. Is there any possibility is hardware specific I should be aware when reboot this box?

Thanks for any input.
 
why did the backup fail ?
Is there anything in the startup scripts ( /etc/rc) ir inittab that changes any permissions ?
