Well, from the message:
We have a cell including three fileservers (Sparc - Solaris 7)

    So, we have three E220 Sun servers running Solaris 7. All three are
running vlserver and all three are database servers.

    Unfortunately, I can't give you the bos status -long from before it
happened, as I don't have a copy of such a listing. I noticed the
"Bosserver reports inappropriate access on server directories" message.
However, that is just an issue with the directory/file permissions and
would not affect normal operation (by the way, I checked permissions,
and they seemed to correspond to the documentation.
    Again, I'm not sure when the access to the file server failed. Would
it help to see the core file generated upon the vlserver restart I
initiated?
