Configuring and enabling PRM on the command line
Configuring PRM
Chapter 7142
Consider the following example user records:
#PRM user records
sysadm::::OTHERS
engineer1::::development,OTHERS
user1::::OTHERS
user2::::sales
+marketing::::mktg
These user records define:
• An initial group of OTHERS for root user sysadm. (Recall that all root
users have implicit access rights to all groups.)
• An initial group of development and alternate group OTHERS for
engineer1.
• An initial group of OTHERS for user1.
• Assuming user2 is in the marketing netgroup, the explicit user
record for user2 takes precedence over the marketing netgroup’s
user record. Consequently, sales is the user’s initial PRM group.
Adding/modifying a user’s group assignment
To add or modify a user record, follow these steps:
Step 1. Open the desired configuration file in a text editor.
Step 2. Using the syntax shown below:
USER::::INITIALGROUP[,ALTERNATEGROUP[, ...]]
and explained in the section “User record syntax” on page 139:
a. Add or modify a line specifying a netgroup or a user’s login name.
b. Add or modify an initial group.
c. (Optional) Add or modify the alternate groups.
Step 3. Save the file and exit your editor.
