Assigning Rights to the Siebel Service Owner Account on UNIX

The following procedure describes how to assign rights for the Siebel service owner account in a UNIX environment.

To assign rights for the Siebel service owner account (UNIX)

1. Log in as root on the Siebel application server.

2. Using the appropriate administrative tools for your UNIX operating system, for example, the System Management Interface Tool (AIX) or the Admintool (Oracle Solaris), select the user who runs the Siebel service.

3. Check that the Siebel service does not run as the root user.

   Note: You must set the execute bit for the /siebsrvr/webmaster directory for the Siebel service to function. The Siebel service account requires permission to run the netstat command to perform the installation successfully. Otherwise, the installation fails.
