Important Security Issues

The Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE data service requires that you embed the system administrator's password in a stop file. The /opt/SUNWscsyb directory contains the template for the stop file, Sybase_stop_servers. The Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE data service uses this file to log in to the Sybase ASE environment and to stop the Sybase ASE servers. Enable the sybase_id user to execute the stop file, but protect the file from general access. Give read, write, and execute privileges to only the following users.

• sybase_id user

• sybase_id group
