G'day Craig,

I think for shared memory, you have to run as root.  You can use TCP/IP, and
that will work.

Hi Folks,

I've got ADSM V2.1.18 running on AIX 4.2.1
Im trying to run the following command within a script

dsmadmc -id=operator -password=***** 'delete volhistory todate=today-5
type=dbbackup'

When I run this as root it works fine with the above ADSM ID. However, when I
try to use a different unix logon id it comes up with the following error.

ANS4475E Insufficient authority to connect to the shared memory region
ANS5519E Unable to establish session with server.

Same when I try to do a BACKUP DB command

ADSM id operator is set up as an administrator
I've tried adding all unix groups to the user authority group set but doesn't
help. Do I have to be logged in as root to run
this command or is there some file I need to adjust the permissons on. I
thought it may be the dsmserv.opt file but didn't work.

Any clues out there??
