Hi Sushant, and welcome to the real things! :-) Forget that sudo stuff, because in Solaris world you use pfexec and define/use permissions stuff in RBAC. As to sudo equivalent, you simply do: pfexec your-command-here <ENTER> To login to your root account, simply: pfexec su - <ENTER> (as long as you have "Primary Administrator" role...) Now, to give you an idea how it all works and why, go read this blog entry (I find it easiest for you to start with): http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/understading_rbac Additionally, you can read these docs: 1. White paper as in a whole: http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/wp-rbac/wp-rbac.pdf 2. Blueprints about some practice how to create/use roles: http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0605/819-2887.pdf 3. http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/4077-Less-known-Solaris-features-RBAC-and-Privileges.html Last 3rd link especially would be interesting for you. Hope it helps! -- Kind regards, BM Things, that are stupid at the beginning, rarely ends up wisely.
