rpm -ivh
nici_rpm_file_name_with_path
For example:
rpm -ivh nici-2.7.0-5.i386.rpm

Nonroot User Installing NICI
Nonroot users can make use of the sudo utility to install NICI. Sudo (superuser do) allows a root
user to give certain users the ability to run some commands as root. A root user can do this by
editing the
/etc/sudoers
configuration file and adding appropriate entries in it.
For more information, refer to the
sudo Website (http://www.sudo.ws)
.
WARNING:
sudo enables you to give limited root permissions to nonroot users. Therefore, we
strongly recommend you to understand the security implications before proceeding.
A root user needs to complete the following procedure to enable a nonroot user (for example, john)
to install NICI:
1
Log in as root.
2
Edit the
/etc/sudoers
configuration file using the visudo command.
NOTE:
There is no space between vi and sudo in the command.
Make an entry with the following information:
Username
hostname
=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/rpm
For example, to enable john to run /bin/rpm as root on the hostname lnx-2, type the following:
john lnx-2=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/rpm
A nonroot user (john in the example) needs to do the following to install NICI:
1
Log in as john and execute the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh
nici_rpm_file_name_with_path
For example:
sudo rpm -ivh /88/Linux/Linux/setup/nici-2.7.0-5.i386.rpm
2
Execute the following script:
sudo /var/opt/novell/nici/set_server_mode
NICI gets installed in the server mode.
