Hi All,
I would like to know what the industry out there is doing with regards to running WAS and its related applications as a non root user.
I am of the understanding that is standard practice not to run any application or product with the UNIX user Root, am I correct in my understanding?
If so, should I change the owner and group of these executables and which should I leave as ROOT:SYSTEM? |

Back when I was a WAS admin for a government agency, we never ran anything as root, and never left any WAS files owned by root.
The same with IHS files and execution user.

Did you change the OWNER and the GROUP or just one of them?
