-> Veritas Volume Manager 3.0.x for Solaris contains a security hole which can,

-> The trivial workaround: add "umask 022" to /etc/rc2.d/S96vmsa-server
-> before the line that starts the Storage Administrator Server.
->

umask 022
echo "umask 022" > /etc/init.d/umask.sh
for d in /etc/rc?.d
do
    ln /etc/init.d/umask.sh $d/S00umask.sh
