Sounds like a permissions problem.

The above is the expected behavior.

The above is likely the problem. If you passwd and group files are not

The above permissions should be:

$ ls -l /tmp/MultiFile*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 system Administ 3916720 Feb 3 10:15 /tmp/MultiFileMsg2
-rw-rw-rw- 1 system Administ 23568 Feb 3 10:15 /tmp/MultiFileSem2
-rw-rw-rw- 1 system Administ 204304 Feb 3 10:15 /tmp/MultiFileShm2
