ESXi

for my ESXi 7 host

[root@localhost:/tmp] chmod 755 /etc/init.d/xorg

chmod: /etc/init.d/xorg: Operation not permitted

it looks like a new security feature on ESXi 7, since i can chmod on ESXi 6.7

my question is "is it possible to disable this kind of feature ?"

i disabled the vmx sandbox, but it still can't chmod

Hi wmliang​,

As you mentioned, it's a security measure indeed in 7.0. Please refer this article --> VMware Knowledge Base

sorry about that

i got this kb before, but i misunderstood about the kb :smileysad:

/etc/init.d/xorg didn't have sticky bit, so root account can't chmod

thanks for mentioned the article again :smileyhappy:

my remaining question is that "is it possible to disable it ?" or "how to edit /etc/init.d/xorg ?"

Is there any way to break out of new file permission lock?

Its disrupting alot of our scripts
