Junos OS

Can someone help me please?

Is there a reason why I can't create the /var/db/scripts directory on the box?  I receive a permission denied error.

On the second node, re1, it worked and also on other boxes, just not on this node, re0.

/var/db

Hi,

I'm not sure why the RE doesn't have such folders. They should be there by default.

% ls -al /var/db/scripts/

Anyway, if you want to create them somehow, you need to be a root user which is the owner of them.

% su -

root@EX% mkdir /var/db/scripts

Apparently our router did not have a proper shutdown some time before and thus some directories were missing.  Not sure how some were not there anymore after an 'abrupt' power failure.

We had to completely re-install the Junos on re0 and then re-sync the re1 configuration and security files with it.  Now everything is fine.
