OMSA on Debian versions behavior

[Dean Manners]

For anyone who runs into this same problem (eg. Using a non root process
such as nagios/nrpe to monitor via omreport), I was able to resolve it with:

chmod 666 /etc/delloma.d/oma/.omaipc
chmod 666 /opt/dell/srvadmin/shared/.ipc/.sharedipc

--------------
Keywords for search engine monsters:
omreport permissions, Error! Invalid XSL path, nagios, non root user, debian
omsa
--------------

Sander Keemink and Bas van der Vlie, perhaps if this isnt some grave
security risk - consider reverting these permissions in future ports ?
