[Susik]

Server Ignite-UX HP-UX 11.31.
Clients HP-UX 11.31. In /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config on clients "PermitRootLogin no " for security standart.
How I can make a backup on other user (non root)?

This is a normal requirement. Why don't you su as root and make your backup as superuser?

You could source the profile (". /etc/profile") after su in order to load the root profile.

Best regards,

Hi SUsik


You have 2 easy options.

Login and do a su for root as being said, or login with rsh or telnet with the root acount.

Ignite will be backing up all the system files, many of which cannot be read (and therefore not backed up) by an ordinary user. Ignite must be run as root. AS mentioned, you can use su or better yet, install sudo and give specific users the ability to run Ignite as root.

Hi all, thanks for reply.
I start the Ignite GUI on the server, not locally. And when add new client or start backup, need enter root password on client.
As I understand other method wasn't present
If local start i am used sudo or su (root).
It is correct?
Sorry for my bad English.

The PermitRootLogin was set to no for security reasons. The use of rsh or telnet is also discouraged for that reasons. So su or sudo remains...
