Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V7.0                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: verifyGroupPerms.sh only verifies group *
  *                      write permissions.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The script verifyGroupPerms.sh was introduced in 7.0.0.13 to
  help users detect any files in their config root which may not
  have group write permissions, which in turn can cause the server
  to not start properly. This script did not check for group read
  permissions however which when not enabled can also cause the
  same issue of the server not starting properly.
  

Problem conclusion

• The script was modified to check for both group read and write
  permissions.
  
  APAR PM77439 is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack 7.0.0.29.
