Setting up JFFNMS
within this *nix environment has been a bit taxing (and fun
too).
However, it would be
great if someone could answer a question:
If an admin like
myself is running JFFNMS for monitoring a network then how many user ids should
there be? (Don't answer)
mysql for MySQL -
per MySQL setup instructions
jffnms for JFFNMS -
per JFFNMS setup instructions
pgsql for
Postrgresql - per setup instructions
myownid for
*nix
and then we have
root
Here is the
question:
If I replace myownid
instead of using mysql, jffnms, and pgsql would I not save myself a bunch of
permission issues when there are conflicts?
I am discovering
that even though I have a semi-working system. The jffnms user cannot
start Postgresql and root cannot start it either. And since I run from
root this makes life a tad difficult. Oh, and crontab apparently does not
run poller.php and friends due to permissions issues as
well.
I was thinking about
setting up Admin as the user for (MySQL, Postgresql, JFFNMS, and etc.). Is
there any operational reason not to do this? Set the Security issue
aside.
Thanks!
Buddy
