This is an AIX problem. The pax command was broken at
 bos.rte.archive.4.3.3.25. You can call AIX support,
I believe a fix is available. I have been using
an e-fix for some months now.

Subject:  [NV-L] transferring security files




Hello,

I am transferring /usr/OV/security from 6.0 (AIX 4.3.2) to  6.0.2 (AIX
4.3.3.7). I am unable to restore the permissions/sticky  bit.

on the FROM:

tar -cvf archive_security.tar /usr/OV/security

ftp in binary

on the TO:

pax -rvf archive_security.tar -pe

 get the error:
MSGSTR PAX_BADOPCONFU: The -p and -o options conflict for  uid/uname

I was able to "untar" it and all users/groups are ok, I can login using
each user. but the problem is the permissions on the /usr/OV/security did
not  transfer (the sticky bit "S" in the C and DAEMONS directories for
example).

I am working with Tivoli on this but wondered if anyone else has
encountered this problem?

thanks
has anyone encountered this problem?
