Veritas Volume Manager – You don’t have permission to run

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on June 23, 2007

This is what happens when you try to run the vxdg command and doesn’t have permission.

username@hostname:/ $ vxdg list
vxvm:vxdg: ERROR: IPC failure: Permission denied

Received SSH_FXP_NAME packet with zero or multiple records – WinSCP

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on June 17, 2007

The problem “Received SSH_FXP_NAME packet with zero or multiple records” was manifested here with AIX and here what I did to solve it.

First I login to the machine with the ssh and use a regular user (root doesn’t count).
I entered the directory where the error is ocurring and listed it using ls -la. Check the current directory and up one level (. and ..). If it appear as ./.. Permission denied, do the following:
1. Umount the filesystem. If necessary, force it (umount -f /filesystem).
2. Check the permissions of the folder used by the mount point.
3. Mount it.
4. Check the permissions of the mount point.
5. List again inside the filesystem (ls -la) and check if the message (./.. Permission denied) appears again.

Try to connect again with WinSCP.

This problem manifested while using WinSCP. FileZilla wasn’t presenting this behavior.
