On our AIX Unix system, I set the sticky bits on the following programs: rws--x--x usa rws--x--x usm rws--x--x usp which are called by a routine we wrote to allow a few users to control printers. For example, our Accounts Payable clerk need to be able to manage the check printer. This isn't a fixall for uvadmin in general, but does allow certain functions, which we control by menu in our application, to be done without giving SU access. I would not recommend doing this with much more than these commands. I'm not even sure I like this as it's one more thing to do after upgrading uniVerse... But, it was already in place when I got here.
