Environment

Release : 12.2

Component : CA NetMaster Network Management for TCP/IP

Cause

The zFSrc=111 return code  and failed: 111 indicate ENOACCESS. There is a security issue.

 

Resolution

A write attribute is missing in the HOME directory attributes.

The correct directory attributes look like this
drwxrwxr-x 3 aaaaa  38 8192 Apr 11 2019 nmcs

directory with problems may show
drwxr-xr-x 2 $bbbb OMVS 0 Jan 24 13:52 nmtip 

During the initial install, this directory is generated with
mkdir -p -m 777 $p1;

Issuing
chmod 775
against the directory will correct the problem.
