Hello,

We have now YUM running on our AIX 7.2 lpars,  and we like to go a step further and make this rpm tool aix RBAC aware.

We noticed that the yum command is a script that call underneath a pyton script.

This script checks if it is executed as a root user otherwise it gives a error "not running as root user"

With RBAC we like to run this command as an "normal user" so without this check.

is there a possibility to remove this check, so that we can try to bring the yum tool under rbac control?

It would be a great security advantage, to do this without the sudo roles,

Greetings Christian Sonnemans.
