File Ownership Notes:

=====================

1. Cimservermain must be owned by ordinary user. For example:

% chown pegasus.pegasus cimservermain

Cimservermain runs as this user.

2. Cimservermain must be able to create files directly under $PEGASUS_HOME.

For example, it must create the cimserver.password file.

3. Cimservermain must own $PEGASUS_HOME/repository and all files beneath.

We solved this by having the executor access those files.

Misc. Notes:

============

1. Set PEGASUS_HOME to /opt/pegasus.

3. Cimservermain must own $PEGASUS_HOME/repository and all files beneath.

Questions:

For now, the executor automatically sets ownership for these files.

==========

1. For OOP run with same user as server, what user is that? The

4. For OOP run with same user as server, what user is that? The

cimservermain user or root? The intent was probably to run those

providers with privilege.

2. Executor now checks whether Pegasus repository exists and exists

For now, we use the same user as the executor.

5. Executor now checks whether Pegasus repository exists and errors out

if not. Is this okay?

6. The configuration file has a repositoryDir key. What is that for and

does it mean that the executor cannot reliably locate the repository

with the constant in Constants.h?

7. Cimservermain owns the local-domain socket file.

8. For logging purposes, the executor uses "cimexecutor" as its syslog

identifier.
