I was able to open the permissions on the
trapd.conf and the mib2trap utility and that allowed me to add traps and
configure them in nv6000. I just don’t know what the repercussions of
that are.

we do this now. we relay on the tivoli framework to give
up access, when we need root. you will NOT be able to add mibs, as far as
I can tell, nor add traps, with sudo. you get a memory fault when you try
that.
good luck

Subject: [NV-L] Running Netview as
with limited root access.
Our group here does not have root access
to our Netview installation.
We have discussed options with our AIX
sysadmin.
We can define sudo rights to start/stop
Netview.
I have identified the following commands
we need sudo for:
ovstart
ovstop
netnmrc
nv6000
We would like to change group ownership to
the /usr/OV directory so that our regular users can modify config files.
Has anyone done this?
Is there any danger in modifying group
permissions on /usr/OV?
Are there any other executable files I
should add to the sudo list?
