Hello,

There is this "cannot switch to sdb owner" in dbmsrvctl which happens
often on Linux at install time for various reasons. I had a look at the
maxdb-7.6 code to find out, what the reason for that can be. It is
actually printed if RTE_SetSapdbOwnerAndGroupId() returns false. And I
noticed that this function takes a errList (Msg_List) out parameter
which is supposed to hold detailed information about the actual problem.

So a small fix which highly helps to debug setup problems would be to
print out the content of errList in this printf. I think this is somehow
done with:
   if ( ! localErrlist.IsEmpty() )
            RTE_Message(localErrlist);
But I am not sure.

Is it please possible to make this modification and increase the
serviceability of the software greatly?

I am actually talking about "/maxdb-76/sys/src/cn/vcn18.cpp". I think
from the comments in the header this file is maintained by Christoph
Bautz, right?

Gruss
Bernd
