AIX7-00-001018 - All system files, programs, and directories must be owned by a system account.

Information

Restricting permissions will protect the files from unauthorized modification.

Change the owner of public directories to 'root' or an application account using the following command:
# chown root </public/directory>

Note: Replace 'root' with an application user as necessary.
