Pairdisplay: Execute permission denied.

[Pairdisplay :Execute pe]

Hi Team,

We have CA-BC Concept here.we are running pairdisplay command from the root user and it's running fine but i want to run this pairdisplay command from other user.

Default Pairdisplay permission: r_xr__r__
we have changed pairdisplay permission:
r_x r__ r_x
[Permission checked from this path
/HORCM/usr/bin ]

but still unable to execute this command.

Please help me.

Can anyone please advice?

All the PAIRxxxxxxx commands depend upon other executables (like raidscan, raidqry etc). If you can change the permission for all the files and try it should work, otherwise you should re-install the RM application with root login itself.

Hi,
paridisplay permission will be:

$ ll /usr/bin/pairdisplay
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 26 Nov 20 2006 /usr/bin/pairdisplay -> /HORCM/usr/bin/pairdisplay

$ ll /HORCM/usr/bin/pairdisplay
-r-xr--r-- 2 root sys 587239 Jun 14 2006 /HORCM/usr/bin/pairdisplay

please paste your command and the error.

Hi,
Your error message not coming in the attachment.
the previous permission is ok. when you changed the permission i dont know it will work for other user.
I also used pairdisplay with different user.But same UID as root.That user will never get the shell.It will just do the operation only.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
write a script that will display the "paridisplay" output then make this script as his shell.

like this:
bcop:xxx:0:3:BC Operation User:/home/bcop:/tmp/its/bcmenu-new.sh

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
If the user only want to see the pairdisplay output and if this frequent then put this in root cron, save output to one file. And a normal user create, he will be just read the file.For this purpose no need to create the user as same UID as root.

Hi,

I have created one script as name of paird.sh same way I have changed his shell in /etc/passwd like followings:

cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/tmp/paird

but we are not getting any prompt as paird is not running in backend.

Bhavin M.

[Aashique]

Hi,
at first check that the user cms can run the script or not.

cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/usr/bin/ksh
then run the script.the UID same as root so the script must be executed and output will come.
if ok then change the passwd.
cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/tmp/paird.sh


Thanks & Regards

The shell /tmp/paird must be owned by the cms user and be executable.

Hi,

Please must read the attahcement with this msgs.

Since you agreed we are going on the wrongtrack the way to solve this is to download and install "sudo" and set up a regular user who is allowed to run pairdisplay as root.

[TTr]

sudo is part of the HP-UX Internet Express suite and it is on software.hp.com, search for sudo.

[pairdisplay]

Hi,

Is there any way to solve the problem without sudo application load into the server?

Thanks in advance...

Not really, unless you want to allow any user to run pairdisplay.

I do not recommend this but since pairdisplay is a script and you can not set a script to SUID-root, you have to look inside the pairdisplay script and find all the statements that run binary commands. Then you have to change all these binary commands to SUID-root. There may be a lot of binaries in the pairdisplay script and some of them may be from the LVM commands.

Again I do not recommend this.

[Aashique]

Hi,
at first check that the user cms can run the script or not.

cms:*:0:20::/home/cms:/sbin/sh
then run the script.
If its fullfill your output then change the /sbin/sh to /tmp/paired
make the script as menu base. like 1 for pairdisplay 2 for pairsync 3 for pairsplit 4 for exit.

I'm trying to use sudo to allow a user to run pairdisplay commands ... It allows them to run it, but the commands fail.

bash-3.00$ sudo /HORCM/usr/bin/pairdisplay -g sqpr3
Password:
pairdisplay: [EX_ATTHOR] Can't be attached to HORC manager
Refer to the command log(/HORCM/log/horcc_sqprdbk2.log) for details.

Yet, it runs OK if I sudo to root first.

Its seems sudo doesnt work, because the pairdisplay also calls other system calls ?? making it fail?

[Aashique]

Hi,
Before run the paridisplay command you must export the HORCM value
export HORCC_MRCF=1
export HORCMINST=1

It HORCC_MRCF & HORCMINST value depends on your configuration.

Thanks
