Hi Alan, I would use "sudo" for this purpose.
You can configure this user to execute only selected commands as root. The user only need to provide his own password. Every attemps to run unallowed commands is reported (logged). You can allow the startup/shutdown script to be run by this user, but be sure that the script is not writable by him, or you are giving root access to the whole system... sudo bash would give a root shell to this user... I hope this helps. Regards. On 7/10/06, Levy, Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
One of my clients has a request that his users not be given root access but should be allowed to stop/start the httpd process. Does anyone have any suggestions/documentation on how to do this ?
