2.3.4 UNIX Ownerships and Permissions

AcuServer will not run on a UNIX server unless proper ownerships and permissions are set on the three files named in the table below. Setting ownerships and permissions requires root privileges. Use the UNIX utilities "chown" and "chmod" to set ownerships and permissions.

UNIX ownerships and permissions must be assigned as follows:

FILE NAME
OWNER
PERMISSIONS
acuserve (executable file)
root
755
AcuAccess (server access file)
root
600
a_srvcfg (server configuration file)
root
644

You must also set appropriate ownerships and permissions on any existing data files and directories. Appropriate ownerships and permissions are those that allow file access to individuals and groups that require it, and which disallow access to all others. See your UNIX operating system documentation for a discussion of UNIX file security.
