Setting up ccm_root and groups

About this task

User ccm_root owns most of the files and directories, and is the user with permissions to run the administrative commands for Rational Synergy. You must have ccm_root defined to install Rational Synergy.

Note: If you are not using NIS, set up ccm_root on each engine host. Use the same numeric user and group IDs on every machine.

Place the ccm_root home directories wherever appropriate for your site.

Note: Do not install the software into the ccm_root home directory.

Perform the user and group setup as user root.

  3. If you are running Rational Synergy on a Linux platform, link
    /etc/logingroup to the /etc/group file.
