HELP!!!!  There something that I'm attempting with
backups that I'm still having problems with.  Currently
the backup does not include the registry information
in /sys/registry.  The reason for this is the registry
has to be put into maintenance mode before it can be
copied.  This can only be done by the owner (root).
I tried running the following script

# Putting master registry in maintenance.
/etc/rgy_admin <<!
set -h dds://watch
state -in_maintenance
info
quit
!

using cron with root as the owner of the process.
This resulted in the following:

+ /etc/rgy_admin 
set -h dds://watch
state -in_maintenance
info
quit
	Default object: rgy  default host: dds://watch
	State: in service  master  replica list is writable
	Default object: rgy  default host: dds://watch
	State: in service  master  replica list is writable
Unable to go into maintenance state  User not authorized to perform operation (network com
	Default object: rgy  default host: dds://watch
	State: in service  master  replica list is writable


I also made a copy of rgy_admin and modified it's acl's to
use setuid root.  But this gave the same result.  The only
way I've been able to get the registry into maintenance mode
is to su to root, execute rgy_admin, and issue the state -in_maintenance
command but this, of course, won't do.  Does anyone have any idea
what else I might try?

Thanks
