Greetings,

Are there any docs floating around that describe groups/roles and/or UIDs that you use for setting up administrative accounts? The documentation in the AIX library doesn't cover it very in-depth.

I would like to setup accounts that can create users, setup/restart print queues and do other various system level task but without granting a UID of 0 (zero). This would be for an AIX 5.1/5.2 environment.

Does IBM have a doc (or any of you) that describes methods and best practices for such tasks?

thanks,
-shawn
