Is anyone running filepro on Red Hat enterprise eight? I?m having trouble getting the filepro menuto appear for users, even after adding the path. I keep getting operation not permitted when running as a user. As root it?s fine.

I have run the setperms but I noticed the group was still all set to root for all the executable in the FP menu

I had it running on RH8, but the customer is no longer in business so I
cannot check for you, but it should work.

See if you can post permissions on /etc/default/fppath
../fp/menus, ../fp/runmenu and perms on the menus themselves.

It could also be a security thing not related to file perms.

If you are running fapolicyd, check /var/log/fapolicyd-access.log
and also if you are running SELinux, check /var/log/audit/audit.log
for clues.  You may have to either enter exceptions or disable things 
if your environment is safe without it.

I generally find each new linux iteration throws me off on at least one
security/firewall setting.  I google a fix, set it once, then forget it.
