Hrm ... I dunno ... I installed universe and specified using uvadm as the admin user. My perms on list_readu are different: -rwxr-x--x 1 root uvadm 1289340 May 10 2005 /usr/local/Universe/ibm/bin/list_readu
uvadm belongs to: uid=600(uvadm) gid=600(uvadm) groups=600(uvadm) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t which implies I _should_ be able to execute this, but I always get Insufficient privileges to perform lock maintenance. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [U2] RedHat, Universe, unlocking Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2006 12:21:44 -0800 From: John Hester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: U2 User Group List <[email protected]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sirulnick, Steve wrote: > Because in order to be uvadm on *nix based systems, you must be root.

Sucky, isn't it? uvadm doesn't need root priviledges, but AFAIK you have to specify that you're going to use uvadm as the admin user rather than root during the UV installation process. This is necessary to set file permissions correctly. This is my uvadm entry in /etc/passwd on RH AS 3: uvadm:x:501:501::/home/uvadm:/bin/bash The list_readu binary is still owned by root, but suid is set: -rwsr-x--x 1 root bin 1285180 Jul 26 2004 list_readu I didn't do this myself so it must have been done during the initial install. Almost everything else is owned by uvadm though, so I'd venture to guess that if you've already specified root as admin during install, the only safe way to switch to uvadm is to reinstall. -John -- John Hester System & Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.
