Step 3 Press return when prompted after the banner page is displayed.

Step 4 Unlike earlier releases of the CNS Netflow Collection Engine, programs are not installed with setuid-to-bin permission. Therefore, you must select an existing user ID as the owner of installed files and NFC processes:

An existing userid must be selected as the owner of NFC files and processes.

Enter userid: bin

In this example, the bin account was specified. Note that the account must already exist on the system. If it does not, an error is indicated and the install is terminated.

File ownership is set to the specified user. Also, if the autostart option is selected later during the installation, the CNS Netflow Collection Engine processes are owned by this user when started at system initialization. Otherwise, the CNS Netflow Collection Engine must be started manually by this user; if not, the CNS Netflow Collection Engine will not have write permission for its files and directories.

Step 5 Next, the install script checks whether the CNS Netflow Collection Engine is already installed and verifies that the CNS Netflow Collection Engine is not running on the system:

Found existing installation: 4.0 in /opt/CSCOnfc.

Verifying that NFC is not running...
