How to restrict the specific user of using SAM

Thxs in advance..

Easy, don't give them the root password.

Normal users do not have permission to run SAM. SAM requires root access.

If a non-root user tries to run SAM, they should get something like:

$ /usr/sbin/sam
Sorry, you must have superuser (root) privilege to enter SAM.

NO

>>where is the log file resides,

/var/sam/log/samlog

>>wht is the configuration file for a SAM

There isn't one.

The only configuration you can do is via 'restricted sam'. The root user can set this up by invoking 'sam -r'. You can then set up sam so that certain users can get to certain sections only.

Otherwise, there isn't really much in the way of configuring sam.

Hi,

>>Non root user doesnt have privilege to use SAM.
>>If you want to add privilege to a non root user,
use #sam -r command.
>>The sam logs are located in /var/sam/log/samlog file,
You can use #samlog_viewer command to view the logs.
