If you're on *nix platform you may be able to use SUDO ( http://www.sudo.ws/ ) that allows you to run certain commands as that may require root (or root-like access).
I think many of the UVADMIN (or UDAMIN) commands require root or admin (WINDOWS) access to run O/S commands that require that access level. Then again it's almost Friday, and I don't want to overwork myself. =) Thanks, -- Donald Verhagen Application Development Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tandem Staffing Solutions, Inc. 1690 S Congress Avenue, Suite 210 Delray Beach, FL 33445 USA Voice Phone: 561.454.3592 Fax Phone: 561.454.3640 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4:30:20 PM 05/05/2005 >>> Your idea about UV administrator group is one that we have wanted on our UV/Linux server too. Too many of the UV admin tools require root priviledges on the Unix servers. UV should not require root or system administrator privileges, but the admin functions should be assignable to a group of users. I agree IBM needs to make this type of mod to Universe.
