We are currently running the WebSphere Application Server (version 5.1) on
a Linux for zSeries image.
Since the installation requirements were to run the install process using
the "root" id, WebSphere is currently owned by "root" and is started and
running under a "root" id.
We are aware of the documentation that shows how to go about changing the
ownership of the WebSphere directories and files. However, we have been
reluctant to change the ownership in case there are sideline issues that
would cause problems if ownership was transferred.
I would like to find out:
1) If anyone switched over to a user without "root" authority and if they
have had any problems.
2) For those people that did not switch over, what drove the decision to
keep WebSphere running under "root".
