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,

use #sam -r command.

You can use #samlog_viewer command to view the logs.
