Moore,
this kind of trick is not working ?
#ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "pfexec tar cf - /etc/shadow" | tar xvf -
I didn't test it but think it should work.
Also, indeed, if you wanted the real root in opensolaris, you can setup
the real "root" while install setup
Just give root to userid instead of giving a normal user.
After completing installation, you can login with the real 'root' user.
I just checked the role, root was changed into the real, 'root'
But, I am not sure if this is a sort of bugs.
It's however useful for user who has wanted to use the real root's power.

Is there a way to transfer a root-only access file (consider fetching
/etc/shadow for an offline password audit, or pushing a new /etc/motd up to the
server)?
Currently, I use {,p}scp and am left with either targetting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path or
doing a multistep copy (ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "getrootequiv cp thefile /tmp" ;
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/thefile . # reverse the steps if uploading)
The former requires root to be a real user with root role/privs. The latter
gives me a headache, and leaves a privileged file in /tmp.
I imagine I could switch to rsync over ssh (rsync -e ssh --path-to-rsync="sudo
rsync" ./motd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/motd) or something like that, but that seems
like serious overkill. And if sudo or whatever is elevating privs requires a password,
this breaks.
