Hi Glynn, Sorry to be a dolt, but what's the strategy behind using pfexec if the OpenSolaris installation goes through the trouble of setting up root as a role?
I also noticed that the secondary user account that the OpenSolaris install creates also has root privileges as a role. So, why aren't we using the roles? In previous Solaris versions, we recommended setting up roles and using them, and not using pfexec manually. Since I'm late to this party, please feel free set me straight.
