Create UNIX user with restrictions
Would like to know how to create a UNIX user, who I only want to use omniback and shouldn't be bale to remove, delete, copy or anything else apart from logon to the system.

Re: Create UNIX user with restrictions
Do you want the user to just run the xomni
............
/opt/omni/bin/xomni
exit
This will just invoke the xomni whenever he logins. The moment he closes the xomni, the exit will be executed and he will be logged out of the session.
Can anybody in the forum tell me, what are the threats which I will face with this...I mean can a user go to the shell prompt in any way.

Re: Create UNIX user with restrictions
You need to add the entry in the .profile of that user.

Re: Create UNIX user with restrictions
The users will log into Omniback using Reflections, which means they log into unix first and then type xomni&. So need to make sure when they log into UNIX, they should have very restricted permissions to do anything at all apart from type in the command xomni and not be able to move, copy or delete anything.

Re: Create UNIX user with restrictions
I'm not sure about Reflection but with Exceed you can create a session that only starts a single specific X application. You may want to look into whether or not Reflection has this type of capability.
