dop(8) System Manager's Manual dop(8) NAME
dop - Allows a user to execute a privileged program without knowing the root password. The dop command also modifies the action database. SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dop [-n | -N] [ui:] action [args] /usr/sbin/dop -a priv[,priv]... action [ui:]pathspec[,[ui:]pathspec]... /usr/sbin/dop -a priv[,priv]... [ui:]pathspec /usr/sbin/dop -d action /usr/sbin/dop [-w | -W] OPTIONS
Invokes a prompt asking the user if they want to run the command as a user or as root. The root password is required to run as root. Attempts to run the action with the user privileges. Adds new actions to the dop database. Deletes an existing action from the dop data- base. Writes a binary image without changing the source. Updates the actionlist from the dop action file and then executes the -w option, which writes the binary image. OPERANDS
Name of privileged program to invoke Arguments to pass to the application guarded by the privilege. Comma separated privilege list (see sysman dopconfig) The fully qualified path name and arguments for the associated action. When specified by a comma separated pathlist and arguments for multiple user interface domains (ui:), the first ui: argument speci- fied is used as the default. If no action is specified, then the path base name is used. A run-time argument replaces the first occurrence of asterisk as a word (for example *) in a string, or else they are ignored. Path arguments should be quoted per the cur- rent shell. Optional. A user interface domain, typically one of X11, suit, java, menu, cui, or cli. DESCRIPTION
The dop (Division of Privileges) command can execute an action after proper authentication from the privilege database file. For more information, see the Security guide. RESTRICTIONS
