HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) Assigning Unix groups to PRM groups, Unix group record syntax

5.Enable PRM’s application manager if it is not already enabled:

#prmconfig -e APPL

Alternatively, enable all PRM resource managers using prmconfig -ewithout any additional arguments:

#prmconfig -e

Assigning Unix groups to PRM groups

Unix groups are collections of users given Unix permissions as a whole. PRM allows you to map Unix groups to PRM groups without having to specify each user in the Unix group. With a Unix group record, any process running as a specific Unix group can be assigned to a PRM group.

You can add, modify, and remove assignments of Unix group to PRM groups as discussed in the following sections:

•“Adding/modifying a Unix group’s PRM group assignment ” (page 77)

•“Removing a Unix group’s PRM group assignment ” (page 78)

Unix group record syntax

This section explains the syntax of Unix group records.

Unix group records assign Unix group to PRM groups.

Use the following syntax when specifying a Unix group record:

#!UXGRP:UNIX_GROUP_NAME:{GROUP (NONE)} where

#!UXGRP	Indicates the start of a Unix group record. (The # character does not
	denote the start of a comment in this case.)

UNIX_GROUP_NAME Is the alphanumeric name (of no more than 255 characters) of an existing

	Unix group.
	A Unix group can have no more than one record.
	This record type yields precedence to application records, compartment
	records, and user records.
GROUP	The PRM group to which the Unix group is to be mapped. If you are using
	group hierarchies, the group you specify must not have any child groups.
(NONE)	You can specify (NONE) in place of a group name if you would like to
	explicitly show in your configuration file that a Unix group is not to be
	mapped to a PRM group.

Consider the following example Unix group records:

#PRM Unix group records

#!UXGRP:finance_dept:finance #!UXGRP:users:(NONE) #!UXGRP:mail:tools/mail

These Unix group records map:

•The Unix group finance_dept into the group finance

•The Unix group users into the placeholder (NONE)

•The Unix group mail into the group tools/mail
