(sorry about the duplication. Hit the wrong key)

 Note down current permissions
 chmod 777 / /var/spool
 install
 chmod back again

Glenn's methodology seems a good one.Though I did not install it that way
(for 'historical' reasons ie I did not have root access). However, when
upgrading to 10.0.17 on HP the process fails when connected as uvadm so I
had to use root (and select the option which says retain uvadm as the
administrator). 

Why not try out whatever variations? Its easy enough to blow away the
install and try a different install methodology.

                                How to the change permissions on / and
/var/spool as needed?
                                 
                                The way I thought it, is the following:
                                   I should put the uvadm user in system
group.
                                   Give full access to to group system on /
                                   Give full access to system group on to
/var/spool

                                Is this correct?

                                I am trying to install UNIVERSE 9.5 as uvadm
user on AIX 5.
                                The installation fails because of wrong
permissions.

                                The manual mentios that the uvadm user must
have write
                                permission on the root (/) directory. How
can this be acomplished? Is the
                                security of the system compomised by
allowing uvadm to write on (/)?
