RE: Recommended AIX lists

The biggest issues that I've seen have all been either expecting a
different shell than you are running, of differences in the commands.
Gnu CHMOD allows you to negate permissions in octal notation. AIX
doesn't. The equivalent of CHMOD -777 is CHMOD 0000.

How long is the script? I might can work through it and get the
information they are looking for.

Have you tried running it? How far do you get before it fails?

Dies very quickly. Died on the chmod command

OS audit scripts tend to be, well, OS specific. Unless, our auditors

screwed up

the chmod command?
