Hi
In Linux you either put chmod and chown in rc.local to set raw devices permissions or use udev.
In HP-UX I have not seen this issue, the permissions are persistent even after reboot for Raw Devices.
In HP-UX 11.31 this can happen if the devices are created with mksf instead of mknod, whenever you add new devices with insf -e this will reset permissions
Thanks
