Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Non root user access to /dev/mem Post 303021404 by Soumyadip Dutta on Thursday 9th of August 2018 03:56:48 AM

Hi Neo,

Thanks for the suggestion but its a vendor application ( binary file ) which cannot be modified to read the /dev/mem information from a different path.

Regards

------ Post updated at 01:26 PM ------

Also the vendor is suggesting to use the below command to grant privilege -

Code:
usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,file_dac_read <non root user>

But i cant find -K option for usermod command. It says invalid option.
Is there any alternate command or option to grant the same rights to the non root user like above?

Thanks in advance!!
