Hello,

I'm using Networker 4.4 on DU 4.0b and I want to modify some notifications
actions and in particular to do some actions needing some privielges (so as
root).

The first question could be :

who is sending mail in a command as "/usr/bin/mailx -s "server's tape mount
request 1" root ?

It seems to me that it's "nobody".

How to manage so that the user sending mail could be root ? For me it won't
bring some security hole as the corresponding action could be done only
within Networker events notfiication.

Thanks,

Daniel
