On UNIX/Linux you can install a non-root Event Agent. This agent increases security because it enables a specified non-root user to start and stop the agent and run Unicenter processes. Without the non-root Event Agent, Event Management must be started and stopped by the root user.
The daemons on the non-root Event Agent run under the ID of the non-root user, except for the CAICCI processes, which run as root.
Note: For information about CAICCI (CA Common Communications Interface), see the Administration Guide and the online CA Reference.
Message actions that run on the system run under the non-root user's ID unless sudo is used.The shareware utility sudo enables the non-root Event Agent to run programs and commands on behalf of any user. You can download sudo from www.courtesan.com/sudo. Follow the instructions on that site for installing, configuring, and using the utility.
