run cmrunpkg command without root...

Hello,

is it possible to run cmrunpkg command with
another user that root??

I know that i can run cmviewcl command with another user by adding this user in /etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist file.

Thanks
David

I can think of 'sudo' application. SUDO can be downloaded from hp's porting centre.

Or you can also try with restricted sam.
To get sudo click this link.

yes the best option is sudo, configured in /opt/sudo/etc/sudoers

User_Alias USERS = nobody,jhon,frank
##
# Runas' for user root
##
Runas_Alias OP = root

##
# Alias of comands
##
#you can add other command separate for ","
Cmnd_Alias CMRUNPKG = /sbin/cmrunpkg, /usr/sbin/hosts_to_named

##
Defaults syslog=auth
Defaults:USERS !lecture

# Grups and users the execute all comands in server
root ALL = (ALL) ALL
%wheel ALL = (ALL) ALL

# Users that they can sig_named

USERS ALL = NOPASSWD: CMRUNPKG

for verify run:
sudo - yousers
sudo -l

#/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/host_to_named -H

sudo will work from the command line. If you want to use another tool ServiceControl Manager is another tool that allows users to run tools as a specified user .... this can be root or any specified user. It has a GUI interface but can also be run via command line. It's a free HP product and I've been using if for over a year.

hi,

You can try to create a script to run the cmrunpkg and give permissions to one or more users to use a sam restrict session that gives to them only access to the script you wrote.
To create a sam restrict session fora a user, issue the commando "sam -r" ass root.

regards.

Hi,

It's not possible.
you can use some other softwares like sudo to get this functionility.
You can give Cluster managment rights to some other user using ristricted SAM featuer of SAM you can configure it using sam -r
