Hi
This is my stupid question of the week ;-)
Sorry but my brain has deflated.
Please bear with me for when my newbie howto is finished I hope it will
stop questions like this.
This is a direct quote from the INSTALL file
B. Set up your raw disk devices so that the dumpuser can read
them, and /etc/dumpdates so that the dumpuser can write to it.
Normally this is done by making the disk devices readable by
(and dumpdates read/writable by) group `operator', and putting
the dumpuser into that group.
Now my problem:
Getting dumpuser to read the raw devices.
I see in Red-Hat the default group is disk
[root@backupserver docs]# ls -ahl /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Apr 11 16:25 /dev/hda
I can't just put dumpuser into group disk as that wil give it full read
write access.
I don't think it wil be a good idea to revoke write privelages from disk
;-)and it will not be a good idea to change the group.So what now ?
This is what stumps me.
Tnx all
Mozzi
