John, I tried sudo for uv/bin/list_readu does not work as there are other things UV and linux must have permissions to use the UniVerse Administrator and utilities. You still must be root to be able to perform UniVerse administration.
sudo bin/uv seems to be the quickest way to allow a user to be an admin. Granted, there are security flaws with this (hopefully you're not going to give root privileges to just anyone), but it's a lot cleaner than mucking with the UID's and I mentioned before. Steve PS if sudo bin/list_readu works for you, then I would like to see how you did it. -----Original Message----- From: John Godzina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 7:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] RedHat, Universe, unlocking No, I meant configuring sudo to be able to invoke list_readu (which is what unlock calls) Sirulnick, Steve wrote: > John, > > You can.
