AIX7-00-002072 - AIX system files, programs, and directories must be group-owned by a system group.

Information

Restricting permissions will protect the files from unauthorized modification.

Solution

Change the group owner of system files to a system group by running the following command:
# chgrp sys /path/to/system/file

Note: System groups other than 'sys' may be used.
