As you can see all that I did was a couple of changes in agent.cfg file:
NOPASSWORD .... enable single user mode wihch is needed for ACLs CAUSER .... Access Control List (A=Allow access, N=Deny access) NO_HOSTS_EQUIV=1 ... disable UNIX/Linux host equiv. authentication
Commands to start/stop CA agent:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/bab_agent start $ sudo /etc/init.d/bab_agent stop
