UNIX ownerships and permissions on AcuLaunch files

UNIX ownerships and permissions must be assigned to key AcuLaunch files as specified in the following table.

File name Owner Permissions
acurcl (executable file) root 755
AcuAccess (server access file) root 600
acurcl.cfg (server configuration file) root 644

The permissions specified in the above table are the least restrictive (most permissive) settings allowed for each file. The specified permissions are the optimal permissions for most installations. However, more restrictive permissions may be assigned (though more restrictive permissions could prevent some AcuLaunch users from using some AcuLaunch functions. For example, if the acurcl executable file were assigned permissions of 700, no user other than root could execute the "acurcl -info" command to generate a report of current AcuLaunch system status).

If the files named in the preceding table do not possess the specified ownerships and permissions (or more restrictive permissions), AcuLaunch will not start.

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