Is it OK to run lmgrd as “root” (UNIX only)?
It is not prudent to run any command, particularly a daemon, as root on UNIX, as it may pose a security risk to the operating system. Therefore, we recommend that lmgrd be run as a non-privileged user (not “root”). If you are starting lmgrd from a boot script, we recommend that you use: su username -c “umask 022; lmgrd…” to run lmgrd as a non-privileged user.
