setup_run_as* scripts

Certain core processes in Network Manager must be run as root. If you installed Network Manager as a non-root user, then these processes will not be able to run unless you execute the setup_run_as_root.sh, setup_run_as_setuid_root.sh, or setup_run_as_capabilities.sh script on the server where the back-end processes are installed.

These scripts affect which user can run the scripts that control the startup and shutdown of Network Manager as follows. The scripts affected are itnm_start, itnm_stop, and itnm_status.

Note: In order for these scripts to work correctly, you must be logged on as root when you run them.
