Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 2
January 2011 Scheduled Maintenance for OES2 SP2 20110131

Situation

After applying the January 2011 Scheduled Maintenance for OES2 SP2 20110131 patches on Open Enterprise Server 2 Support Pack 2 servers, the /var/log/messages file is flooded with the following messages :

openwbem: [3038706592]Error parsing Service Description XML Document: /usr/share/omc/svcinfo.d/novell-vigil.xml  MSG: Invalid file permission for XML file: /usr/share/omc/svcinfo.d/novell-vigil.xml. Only root user can have write/execute permission

The root cause for this problem is a wrong file permission that has been set to the '/usr/share/omc/svcinfo.d/novell-vigil.xml' file.

Resolution

As root user, perform the following:
'chmod 644 /usr/share/omc/svcinfo.d/novell-vigil.xml'

After this is performed, no more inappropriate file permission messages will be logged.
The default file rights will be properly set in a later support pack.
