Hi, I am Abhilash T.G of Amrita University, I would like to work on the bug 6530498.My SCA number is OS0183
The bug synopsis is.. Bug ID 6530498 Synopsis HA DNS should provide a property to allow the DNS service to be run as a non-root user State 1-Dispatched (Default State) Category:Subcategory suncluster:ha-dns Keywords DNS | named | non-root | oss-bite-size | oss-request | user Sponsor Submitter Reported Against Duplicate Of Introduced In Commit to Fix Fixed In Release Fixed Related Bugs Submit Date 02-MAR-2007 Last Update Date 20-DEC-2007 Description Customer request via the Sun Cluster forum: I'd like the DNS HA Agent for Sun Cluster 3.2 to be modified so that the admin can choose to run BIND as a non-root user ie. named. This functionality is desirable for security reasons, as it gives the admin a layer of protection in the event that BIND is compromised. As a non-root process, it won't be capable of doing as much damage as a compromised root process could. This behaviour is similar to how Apache works, and is already available by specifying "-u <userid>" when starting BIND from the command line, or setting 'user' and 'group' in method_credential in the SMF manifest. Work Around N/A regards Abhilash
