dynaTrace components like dTServer and dTCollector run as root in the unix boxes. Now due to this there can be security issues and we need to change this behaviour so it runs with a dTuser rather than root.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm assuming you set up the init scripts in init.d for the services to start automatically with the host. Please refer to the documentation if you need more help with this.
$DT_HOME/$DT_BINARY -bg $DT_OPTARGS
to this:
su - $SERVERUSER -c "$DT_HOME/$DT_BINARY -bg $DT_OPTARGS"
Thanks,
Rick B
