306.0. "Calling CMUserSendEvent from accounts other than root" by SIOG::BATEMAN (We are all DECservers) Mon Jul 18 1994 17:48

    Can CMUserSendEvent be called from account other than root on OSF/1? I 
    notice I get back 203 (CM_OPENFAILEDONSEND) if I try to call it from any 
    account other than root? Perhaps I have missed something in the
    documentation.
    
    Thanks,
    Alan

	It would appear that because of the protections we have to place on the socket files that you need to be root or at least the program you are running needs to be SUID root. We overlooked this for the documentation, sorry. Cheers, Phil

	If I set the effective user ID as follows it work fine. chown root myprog chmod +s myprog Alan.
