Hi, I am having the exact same issue. Any update on finding a solution to this issue? I have been following the guide, http://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikfdtnunxcg/64205/PDF/default/config.pdf, for SAS Foundation 9.3 on UNIX 64-bit. I manually performed a chown and chmod 4755 to the elssrv, sasauth, and sasperm files as root, but it seemed like the SDW did not read the changes after I retried to continue. I also changed to method=pw in the sasauth.conf since I am using system username/password for authentication. The same error still appeared. Any help is appreciated.
