HPUX setup for EM 10g

Hey all,
Anyone running the 10g Grid Control with agents on HPUX 11? I've noticed that EM and the installer require an OS account that has access to binaries in "/usr/sbin" as well as the oracle databases and other programs. With Solaris and Linux, I've used the Oracle Software account ("oracle") for this, since those same binaries (e.g. "ifconfig" and "swapinfo") are not protected.

Off the cuff, I'm thinking of:

  1. Open the access on the specific "/usr/sbin" binaries to all.
  2. Add the "bin" group to the "oracle" account.
  3. Create a new account "oracleEM" that will have access to the sbin's as well as the DBs.

I can think of potential problems with all of the above, like possibly security and maybe future patches/upgrades. Or I could just leave it alone...

Thoughts?

Rich
