i put a user in the operator group in /etc/group:
wkstn% pw groupshow operator
operator:*:5:root,alpete
and attempted to dump a live filesystem:
wkstn% dump -L -0u -f /mnt/storage/incoming/dump_test.dmp /usr
/sbin/mksnap_ffs: Permission denied
dump: Cannot create /usr/.snap/dump_snapshot: No such file or directory
wkstn%
wkstn% ls -la /usr
total 58
drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Feb 14 20:32 ./
drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Feb 20 00:58 ../
drwxrwxr-x 2 root operator 512 Feb 13 18:59 .snap/
--snip--
wkstn% cd /usr/.snap
wkstn% touch test.tmp
touch: test.tmp: Permission denied
wkstn%
what am i missing here?
