Dear colleagues,
Remember I'm running TRU64 5.1 with GNU bash 2.04
Yesterday i paged for help "How to let an account behave like root"
I got many reaction but non of them solved the problem.
I narrow the problem. A non-root user "backup" starts via crontab a backup
script making vdumps of all file sets.
I get many "can't open", "unable to open" on (system) files [13] permission
denied and non-root user not allowed to backup quota files messages.
- Some of you advised to make backup's uid the same as root. I did but no
result.
- Many advised to use sudo. Unfortunately releases stopped with DU 4.0E.
- One advised to use 'dop' (it looks like a sudo implementation for Try64 >=
version 5) which i did but no success
"dop -a FileManagement,StorageManagement vdump /sbin/vdump"
With sysman dopconfig i gave backup superuser rights (and but probably
superfluous the File- Storagemanegement rights)
This does not solve the problem. I even add the file/storage rights to cron
but this should be unnessessary) but you have to try something...
Looking at the /etc/dopcr I see the backup added (together with root) to
superuser rights and the action vdump with the needed file/storage rights.
Backup uid and gid equals root. And i rebooted the system...
So or there is more under the sky or i'm doing something stupid...
But what? Somebody knows a step forward?
Thanks for your help
