Restricted sam

[Mehmood Ansari]

Problem still remain through restricted sam. The whole idea of creating restricted sam is to allowe User oper under home directory to reboot the system. Any other solutions, some one can help me please.

Hi,

If you need to grant shutdown to some user, create file /etc/shutdown.allow and add there all users, including root as follows:
+ root
+ admin


etc

Hi Mehmood,

Just to reboot the system, you can use /etc/shutdown.allow file. Add the user in there.

Other than that, you can use 'sudo'. It's avaialble at HP's porting website.

Hi

It is not workking

[cmsprod,cmsoper,ORCL,/home/cmsoper]>/etc/shutdown -r now

User cmsoper not allowed to shutdown this system (cmsprod) -- exiting shutdown.

[cmsprod,cmsoper,ORCL,/home/cmsoper]>

Check that the shutdown.allow is in the correct format. The format is viewable from http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90692/00/01/143-con.html#files See under FILES
/etc/shutdown.allow

The format is to have system name followed by hostname. In addition a superuser's name must be included in the file. See the man page for details.

Hi

shutdown.allow is set correctly, it is not working.

[cmsprod,cmsoper,ORCL,/home/cmsoper]>/usr/sbin/shutdown -r
User cmsoper not allowed to shutdown this system (cmsprod) -- exiting shutdown.

lrwxr-xr-t 1 root sys 18 Apr 16 2003 shutdown -> /usr/sbin/shutdown
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 14 Jun 14 10:16 shutdown.allow
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 942 May 18 22:48 shutdownlog
root@cmsprod /etc #pg shutdown.allow

cmsoper
root
root@cmsprod /etc #

Any other solutions.

Hi,

Pls try setting the machine's alias and user name, i.e:

#cat /etc/shutdown.allow
myhost oper
