Hi, all,



     When I follow the steps on NetView admin guide to setup the Security Admin
other than
     root, I always get an error message when I tried to start nvsec_admin from
that user id:

     What I did was:

     1. create a group named "secadmin" and a user named "secadmin"

     2. Follow the instruction on the admin guide:

          chgrp secadmin /usr/OV/bin/nvsec_admin
          chmod g+x /usr/OV/bin/nvsec_admin
          chgrp -R secadmin /usr/OV/security
          chmod g+rwx /usr/OV/security
          chmod -R g+rw /usr/OV/security/C
          chmod g+rx /usr/OV/security/conf
          chmod g+rw /usr/OV/security/conf/sec.conf
          chmod -R +rwx /usr/OV/security/C

     3. add the group name of secadmin into root's group list.

     4. login "secadmin" and start /usr/OV/bin/nvsec_admin

     Then I get the following error message:

     <>ERROR: User must be root. Permission denied for "nvsec_admin"


     What have I done wrong?

     Thanks.
