Start DNCA
About this task
After the DNCA rpm installation is completed, the first
start of the DNCA must be completed as root

Using this user allows the DNCA to set several system kernel variables by
using the sysctl
cmd, which is available as root
only.
Note: The
dncauser
user
is created without a password that is assigned to it, so you cannot log

user

./discover start

then run the script as a non-root user dncauser
each
successive time. To run as dncauser
