Need to change ownership of all xi files to different id

Post by bcoleman310 »

I have an existing installation of Xi 5.2.9 and i need to change all of the files ownership to a different id and group than nagios:nagios.
Is this possible? and if so, what files and configs do i need to change to get it to start correctly on reboot?

Thanks

This may be possible somehow but certainly would not be supported. MANY underlying components rely on the user and group permissions as well as expect a Nagios XI install will use nagios:nagios
