Sorry to bump this very old thread however it's the first google result for this privilege problem so hopefully this will help somebody.
I have had a pretty similar issue, in my case the root user of a non-global zone had the SYS_IPC_CONFIG_PRIVILEGE but other users did not. I've gotten around this in two ways: 1. You can use the ppriv command to set this privilege for the process that requests it (normally, you must be root to grant the privilege), e.g.: ppriv -s A+SYS_IPC_CONFIG process_pid (you could use the shell of the logged in user for example so you can start any number of processes with that privilege for one session). 2. A more permanent solution is to grant this privilege to the user so that it would always be available: usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,sys_ipc_config user_name As far as I understand the -K switch will replace current privileges with the new value so if you have any other extra privileges for the user be sure to add them! Hope this helps, cheers! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
