# usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr,proc_exec,proc_fork splunk
To allow the splunk user to bind to reserved ports on Solaris 10, run (as root):
# usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr splunk
Correct the user selected during Windows
installation
If you have selected "other user" during the Windows GUI installation, and that
user does not exist or perhaps you mistyped the information, you can go into the
Windows Service Control Manager and specify the correct information, as long
as you have not started Splunk yet.
If you specified an invalid user during the Windows GUI installation process, you
will see two popup error windows.
To change the user:
1. In Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, find the Splunkd and
SplunkWeb services. You'll notice that they are not started and are currently
owned by the Local System User.
2. Right click on each service and choose Properties. The properties dialog for
that service is displayed.
3. Select the Log On tab.
4. Select the This account radio button and fill in the correct domain\username
and password.
5. Click Apply.
6. Click OK.
6. Repeat for the second service (you must do this for both Splunkd and Splunk
Web).
7. You can now either start both services from the Service Manager or from the
Splunk command line interface.
