dear colleagues,
Using tru64-unix version 5.1; bash version 2.04
An operator has to schedule full system backup (using vdump) for irregular
times.
For that I wrote a backup_submit script what is automatically executed after
logging in
using backup as an account ("source backup_submit" within .bash_profile)
The backup script gets the schedule date and time issued by the operator for
which the backup_tape script will run vdumping all file sets to tape. The
schedule date/time is stored in the cron backup schedule file using crontap.
User backup got uid=0 and gid=1 (exactly as root)
I added in /etc/group the backup together with root to the group system.
Using sysman dopconfig i gave backup full superuser rights.
But unfortunately the backup.log file shows lots of permission denied
messages. Including Non-root users cannot backup quota files messages.
So obviously backup does not have the same rights as root.
Question: does anybody know how to let the backup account behave exactly
like root in order to be able to backup all files.
Thank you very much in advance!
