You can use the --xrefdir= option to have it put the xref file<br>
somewhere else, or the --xrefown option to set it to be writable<br>
by the current user only. I'm not certain why your vulnerability<br>
scanner would care about what's in /var/tmp on a Solaris box...<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

My version of pca: 20110329-01. I've noticed that when pca downloads<br>
patchdiag.xref to /var/tmp,<br>
the permissions end up as chmod 666. Our vulnerability scanner<br>
complains about this as a world-writable file.<br>
Any idea how its permissions are set? Is this something that be fixed in pca?<br>
