I'm running the ADSM backup/archive client for HP-UX, backing up to an AIX ADSM 
server. As far as I know, only a root user is able to run a succesful backup on 
the client. I wouldn't like root executing the backups due to the restricted 
access that we have for this user, instead I would like to create a user able 
to launch the backups. I took a look at the ADSM documentation and I found out 
that it is possible to create an ADSM authorized user for this purpouse with 
the following properties:
   - Runs with a real uid of 0 (root)
   - Owns an executable whose owner's execution permission bit is set to s.

I'm looking for a way to avoid giving my user a real uid of 0, is there any way 
to create a user that can run adsm backups without being root?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
