APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Default names are used in this description.  Customers may have
customized the directory or userid/group names.  To summarize
the steps of what was observed:
BBOWCHFS creates the mount point as /WebSphere/V5R0M0 with
permission bits 775 and owned by ASSR1 and group WSCFG1.
BBOMCFG successfully ran to create, among others, the
AppServer directory.  This directory was created with owner
ASSR1 and group WSCFG1 and permission bits 755.  WSADMIN is in
the WSCFG1 group.  WSADMIN is not the owner of any of the
directories but is in the group that owns the directories.
BBOMCFGU attempts to create directory ejb under AppServer and
fails with:
!!!!! Problems that occured while processing: !!!!!
===================================================
Could not create directory /WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/ejb,
RC=0 RSN=6F  mkdir /WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/ejb  775
.
Customization instructions in BBOSSINS for the User ID
requirement indicate WSADMIN should be used.  This should say
to use UID=0 for a superuser id, the same as BBOWCHFS and
BBOMCFG jobs.  This would be a change to the text of the
BBOSSINS instructions.
Local fix
Run BBOMCFGU with a userid that has UID=0 authority.
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Customization instructions for running  *
*                      JOB BBOMCFGU incorrectly say to use     *
*                      WSADMIN.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Customization instructions in BBOSSINS for the User ID
requirement indicate WSADMIN should be used. Instructions should
say to use UID=0 for a superuser id. A change to the
instructions in BBOSSINS needs to be made.
Problem conclusion
Customization instructions skeleton file BBOSSINS will be
updated to state that the user ID requirement for the BBOMCFGU
job is UID=0.
