hci commands using only hci user id

[Jenny Young]

what is the best way to allow only the hci userid to run hci commands?

we are having issues with the hci user timing out, and then an individual will run an hci command under their own user id, and it is causing permissions issues.  we would like to limit the hci commands to only the hci userid.

thanks

I am assuming this on Unix.

chmod 700 * in /hci/rootx.x.x/bin/ as user hci

or remove the /hci bin directoris out of the PATH variable in the user’s environment variable

env |egrep “SHELL=|^PATH=”

then change the appropriate rc file for your shell

What is an “rc” file?

I’m assuming they don’t mean Royal Crown file.  More than likely it means a file like the  “.kshrc” file.

Mav:

From the horse’s mouth  🙂

Unix: from runcom files on the CTSS system 1962-63, via the startup script /etc/rc] Script file containing startup instructions for an application program (or an entire operating system), usually a text file containing commands of the sort that might have been invoked manually once the system was running but are to be executed automatically each time the system starts up

So, how does that fit the statement, “run the appropriate rc file”?  That makes it sound like there are more than one.
