Running MSDP services with the non-root user
You can reduce the security risks by running the applications with the non-root user.
Starting from NetBackup 10.3, you can run MSDP daemons with the non-root user on NetBackup BYO (Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE), NetBackup Appliance, and NetBackup media server on Flex Appliance.
The non-root user is the MSDP service user that is configured automatically in MSDP configuration file /etc/pdregistry.cfg after MSDP service user is changed.. You are recommended to use the non-root user as the MSDP service user.
