Hi All,

Is there a way to install the program as a different user other than root??
I'm installing this on Ubuntu Server 8.10.

For example I've created a user called tac-plus with uid and gid of 1001.

/etc/passwd:
tac-plus:x:1001:1001:TACACS+ User,,,:/home/tac-plus:/bin/bash

/etc/group:
tac-plus:x:1001:

I then configured it with the userid and groupid:

./configure --prefix /tac-plus --with-acctfile=/var/log/tac_acc.log
--with-logfile=/var/log/tac_plus.log --with-userid=1001 --with-groupid=1001

But once the program was installed, the files and directories are all still
own by root?

root at tacacs-1:/tac-plus# ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 4096 2009-11-25 12:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2009-11-25 12:14 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2009-11-25 12:14 bin
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2009-11-25 12:14 include
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2009-11-25 12:14 lib
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 2009-11-25 12:14 share

Any ideas how to install it as a different user?

Thanks.

Andy
