Re: [foxboro] Foxboro I/A OPC - Security

In general, anything that accesses the OM needs root permissions. You can
grant any program root permissions by using the chmod command:
chmod +4000 <pgmName>

The application could then be run by someone other than root as if root had
run it.

Other issues running as a different user tend to boil down to directory
access permissions.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

which I/A series applications on a Solaris Box can run under another
account than root?

Has anyone experience in this field for example building display under a
normal user account (that is a non root account)?


Greetings,
Andreas
