Jetadmin access for non root users

Haitham Hamad — Fri, 13 Apr 2001 15:30:13 GMT

How can I setup a regular users to be able to configure printers in Jetadmin. I think default setup is that nonroot users can use diagnostics and printer status options.

Try with "SUDO" or write a C script.

I figured out sudo will do it but I was wondering if jetadmin itself allows non-root users to configure printers.

Write C script which launch jetadmin with permission chmod 4501.

Hello,

I'm not too sure, but you might want to look into restricted sam and see if you can assign some privileges with that.

start sam with

#sam -r

jetadmin (aqnd associated scripts and executables) just manipulate standard Unix comands. Since a normaluser cannot shutdown and restart the spooler, then jetadmin will fail. The best choice is sudo so the allowed commands can be explicitly called out in the sudoers file.
