I have 2 hosts where the above command runs fine with jboss user and for the other hosts it fails giving me 

TEST $ yum list installed | grep 

```
Traceback (most recent call last):

```

File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in

yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True)

    startupconf = config.readStartupConfig(fn, root)

       startupconf.uuid = get_uuid(uuidfile)

```

```
      return open(savepath, 'r').read()

   IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '///var/lib/yum/uuid'

```

any help would be appreciable if this command can be run.
