SolutionWhat type of alerts are you looking for this user to collect? They could be part of the users group and still be able to see the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file, which is where most alerts go to.
I definitely wouldn't want a user to be part of the root group nor sys. You could create a new group and put them in there and it would be seperate from any other group.
Regards,
robert

Re: Create Unix User
Re: Create Unix User
A regular user can can check the system messages:
$ cat /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
For the dmesg you can create a cron to dump the dmesg output to a file and make sure to change it's permissions so a regular user has read access to it.
0,15,30,45 * * * * /sbin/dmesg >> /var/adm/messages 2>&1

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. Other's are give permission to the log file,
You No need to add the User to group sys,
