One possibility is cfgmgr.  We had this issue with some crontab files when
running cfgmgr by hand (disk replacement, etc.).

Subject: Device files changing ownership

We have several DB2 servers and we are having an interesting problem with one
particular server. The raw device files used for the db2 tablespaces seem to
randomly change ownership to root. It has happened twice in the last 3-4 months.
No reboots, import/exportvg's or any other system changes are done when this
happens. We contacted IBM support and they didn't have any ideas and suggested
we turn on auditing. I have done that but unless the problem happens again, it
might not yield an answer. This server is running aix 5.3ML3 and db2 version 8
fixpack 9 (DB2 v8.1.1.89). We have other servers running these same levels where
the problem does not occur.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before or has any debugging suggestions.. 

Thanks in advance!
Paul
