Re: ADSM and AIX root access

I'd think you could do (most of) it without root, provided you
set file permissions accordingly and either used "sudo" or a
setuid mechanism to do things like restart the server and run
dsmc restores...
Haven't tried it though, so there might be a gotcha in there
somewhere.
