Hi,

Is there anyway to bring down ethernet interface using non-root ID?

Appreciate if you could advice how to do that using non-root ID and what are previleges required in order to perform the tasks.

Thanks

these are some possibilities:

  • sudo (all AIX versions)
  • LPRM (5.3+)
  • RBAC (6.1+)
    I feel that sudo might suit you best. sudo for AIX can be downloaded from the IBM Linux Toolbox. Read the sudo man page.
