Enabling setuid execution on Linux and the UNIX system

If you need to run setuid executables in a dynamic view, additional configuration is required.

About this task

By default, the viewroot and VOB file systems are mounted with setuid and setgid disabled. If you must enable hosts to mount these file systems with setuid and setgid enabled (for example, if you run setuid tools from a VOB), run versionvault-home-dir/etc/utils/change_suid_mounts to enable it for a single host.

The effects of running change_suid_mounts on a host do not persist across installations, and you must stop and restart HCL VersionVault on the host after running the script.
