HP3070

I have a few questions concerning restricting users on a hp3070 with a B180L controller (HPUX 10.20). Is this the appropriate forum? Thanks.

Hi,

Please feel free to post your queries. All of us will try to help where possible.

But first, you need to let us know your detailed questions regarding restricted users. What kind of user restriction are you referring to?

Regards.

I appreciate your reply. I have setup accounts for users who belong to the hp3070 group. The problem is that I don't want them to be able to change any of the files in the /hp3070/boards directory. I changed the board file to read-only and it has not effected any user. If I changed ownership to myself, and give hp3070 group read access, would the group users be limited? As an experiment I may just try this on one of the /boards sub-directories.

change the ownership to the/hp3070/boards directory to root:sys and permissions to 755, for example: chown root:sys /hp3070/boards
Change directory to 755:
chmod 755 /hp3070/boards
Change all files to 644:
chmod -R 644 *
This should shut them out from modifying any of the files.

I am trying chmod 755 for now. Not having execute priviledges does not work. If I don't post, everyone can assume this works. Hopefully, it will help another hp3070 user.
