Access to SAM using your own login

[Marylou Kohlmeier]

I can use "sam" when I login as root but not using my own login. My current permission for /usr/sbin/sam is r-x, r-x, r-x.

I have added my login to the following group to no avail: adm, sys and bin

Please let me know if you can provide assistance.

thank you,

#sam -r

This activates the Restricted SAM Builder, which allows you to enable or disable selected SAM areas for users.

For each user given restricted access, SAM creates a file /etc/sam/custom/login_name.cf that defines the user's SAM privileges. SAM uses this file to give users access to the indicated areas.

When users execute SAM, they will have superuser status to the areas you defined and will only see those SAM areas in the menu. Areas that do not require superuser status (such as SD) will also appear and will execute using the user's ID. Any other area will not appear. If non-superusers without SAM privileges try to run SAM, they will receive a message that they must be superuser to execute SAM.

When running restricted versions of SAM, there are no shell escapes on terminals and the list menu is disabled. This prevents users from getting superuser access to restricted areas of SAM. You can also add your own applications to SAM and set them up for restricted access.
Thanks

Hi,

use sam -r command, to configure non-root user to access SAM functionality.

Hi,

>>Login as root Use sam -r command to enable access to Non root users.It will create a file with Non root username in /etc/sam/custom directory,confirm it.

>>Login as Non root user and use,
#/usr/sbin/sam command to access SAM or add the /usr/sbin path to PATH variable and use #sam command
Adding /usr/sbin to PATH variable,
#export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin

$ sam
/bin/ksh: sam: not found

I exported PATH=$PATH: /usr/bin to my .profile but still get the error above when I tried to invoke "sam".

As root, type "whence sam", then use the full path returned to invoke sam as a regular user. We can debug your path later.

# whence sam
/usr/sbin/sam


Pete

[Marylou Kohlmeier]

root:/ #whence sam
/usr/sbin/sam

Then I what do I do next

Hi,

Did you add privileges to Non root user with sam -r command? If it addedd, confirm the file with your Non root user name in /etc/sam/custom directory is exists.
