Hello Amanda Group,
I'm trying to tighten security and build amanda as a non-root user.
On our Sun systems use used --with-user=bin --with-group-sys
and had hoped to do the same for our IRIX clients and servers.
(on Irix we are also using --disable-libtool which may no longer
be needed ? ).
The configure, make, make install all run successfully but running
the daemon as bin is a problem, system tells me "no shell" which
I guess makes sense as the shell in /etc/passwd is /dev/null.
Wondering what is the "correct" solution, choose a different non-root
user on SGI ? Run as Root on SGI. Ok to change the shell for bin ?
Please let me know what your experiences are.
thanks,
Brian
