Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm
I believe that there is an existing bug with the 11.3 version of Universe that installing as uvadm causes problems. Still waiting on a fix for this. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bertrand, Ron Sent: Friday, January 20, 2012 2:38 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm We had multiple permission problems when we installed universe 11.3 as uvadm.

Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm
Its strictly a security thing. Installing as uvadm is more secure, and more in line with typical unix/linux guidelines of only running things as root when you have to. It is easier to install as root, but, less secure. With security, always comes extra work :) My two cents...

Re: [U2] [UV] Install as root vs uvadm
Assuming you are on a *nix system... If you want to install as uvadm, do the following: Create a user called uvsql (In RHEL, use the GUI. In AIX, use smit) Create a user called uvadm. (In RHEL, use the GUI. In AIX, use smit) If a group called uvadm, did not get created with the user, create a group called uvadm. (In RHEL, use the GUI. In AIX, use smit) Then create the /usr/uv directory. mkdir /usr/uv Now set the permissions for it: chown -R uvadm:uvadm /usr/uv Now set the sgid, to control the group ownership of files that get created in the /usr/uv directory. chmod g+s /usr/uv Now login as uvadm and run the install process. When it completes it will have you do the last little bit as root. Simply login as root and do what it tells you. Now when you add your account data/files/programs, do the following. Create your users. Create a group called uvusers. Make your directory where your accounts reside. For example: mkdir -p /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT chown -R username:uvusers /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT chmod -R 774 /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT chmod g+s /uvdata/accts/SOMEACCOUNT Wala, permissions problems solved :) On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Bertrand, Ron bertran...@ghc.org wrote: We had multiple permission problems when we installed universe 11.3 as uvadm.
