This is covered in my paper (www.allegro.com/posix/pnpposix.txt).  The
permissions on a lot of the HP-provided files are incorrect on MPE/iX 5.x
(they are fixed on 6.0).  There's a note in my paper on how to fix this, but
you'll have to get someone with SM capability to do it for you.

Feel free to contact me for more details, or to pass my email address on to
your system manager.

Good luck!
