Summary: ambari-server needs to run as root
Key: AMBARI-7325
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-7325
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ambari-server
Affects Versions: 1.6.1
Reporter: David Jorm
ambari-server needs to run as root. Is this necessary? By running as root, it
means that an attacker able to exploit a flaw in ambari can take complete
control of the server.
$ ambari-server start
/usr/sbin/ambari-server: line 53: /var/lib/ambari-server/ambari-env.sh:
Permission denied
Using python /usr/bin/python2.6
Starting ambari-server
ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.
REASON: Unable to start Ambari Server as user dfj. Please either run
"ambari-server start" command as root, as sudo or as user "root"
