Introduction

EMu is installed on a Unix machine as a server application. In order to restrict access to the database files a Unix group is created.

EMu requires a user and group account to be setup. The user account is called emu which is used to administer EMu. The group account, called emuadmin, is used to limit access to the EMu data files.

Adding user emu, group emuadmin and creating the emu home directory.

1. Log in as root.
2. Launch the  account management software for your host.
3. Create a new group called emuadmin.
4. Create a new user  called emu whose default group is emuadmin.
   Note the last component of user emu's home directory must be emu (e.g. /home/emu).
   Login shell in order of preference is bash, ksh, sh.
5. The permissions for user emu's home directory must allow a normal user read and execute access.
   Enter cd  ~emu
   Enter chmod  755  .
