I am running Solaris 8. My users tell me that under Solaris 7 they were able to kill their own process's. I have no problem with them doing it. I am guessing it's a configuration issue.

Suggestions?
 
give that user x permission to the process, then that user can kill any process runned by him
 
Hello,
Your question seems very strange.
In all Unix, every user can kill their processes, if the process is ok.
The process can trap the kill signal and do something else (no die for exeample).
In all case, kill -9 PID should kill the user process (cant be traped)

Another person says you don t have the x permission. It has nothing to do (if you dont have it, you can t run the process, so don't have to kill it)
 
Apparently What my user is trying to kill is a Shell script. Had her do the -9 and everthing worked

THNX
