The authentication server is not SETUID ROOT error in SAS

Question: When validating the SAS Server from SAS Management Console, I received the following error: The authentication server is not SETUID ROOT.  So, I ran the setuid.sh utility and restarted the services many times. I just checked the elssrv sasauth sasperm setuid bit. There were no error in sasauth-debug.log, sasauth-access.log, sasauth-error.log.  Any suggestions? Answer: Please do the following:    1) Run /<SASConfig>/Lev<X>/ObjectSpawner/ObjectSpawner.sh stop  2) Edit /<SASConfig>/Lev<X>/ObjectSpawner/ObjectSpawner.sh and add the code shown below right after SCRIPT=`basename $0`:  if [ -n ""$TKPATH"" ]; then  unset TKPATH  fi   if [ -n ""$TK_PATHLIST"" ]; then  unset TK_PATHLIST  fi    3) Run /<SASConfig>/Lev<X>/ObjectSpawner/ObjectSpawner.sh start  The above code change in ObjectSpawner.sh should fix the issue.
