How do I get a PE 2.5.1 agent to run as a non-root user in Solaris?

[Berry Sizemore]

Hi,

Some months ago I got PE 1.5.6 agent running as a non-root user on Solaris 10.  I upgraded my agents to PE 2.5.1 and now I cannot successfully start them as non-root user.  I get no error message or logs.

Thanks

Or perhaps there is a designated user other than root and some random non-root user?

What didn't work yesterday works today.  I suspect we were using the wrong command.  Thanks for having a look.

Berry,

Would you mind asking this again on pe-users [1] rather than Puppet Users?

Also, I don't think there have been any responses because the problem
isn't clear. When you post to pe-users I'll try and follow up as
quickly as I can, I was out of the office all last week. If you could
also describe how you're starting the Puppet agent that would be very
helpful. e.g. are you using cron or SMF or something else?

Finally, if you could also let us know what running the agent in the
foreground with the --debug --verbose and --trace options displays
that will help troubleshoot the problem.
