Running restricted SAM from a restricted shell

[Robert Yoder]

What method, if any, would allow a user configured with a restricted shell to execute a restricted SAM session?

[Brian Markus]

You could use sudo to allow the user to launch sam, if you've set up the restrcitions in sam properely this should work nicely.

Hope this helps

There's no possible way for SAM to runn from a restricted shell. By default, the / directory becomes the user's $HOME so a restricted user cannot see anything above their $HOME. Therefore, /usr/sbin/sam does not exist.

Get the free software program called sudo. Not only does it allow highly restricted commands but even the options given to a command. Get sudo from the porting center: http://hpux.connect.org.uk or any of their mirror sites.
