dop

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

       You must have root privileges to modify the privileges database.

EXAMPLES

       The following example will add an action to the AccountManagement privilege.  dop -a AccountManagement adduser_script /usr/sbin/adduser

       The following example runs the action adduser_script for the AccountManagement privilege.  dop adduser_script

       The following example deletes the adduser_script action from the action database.  dop -d adduser_script

FILES

       Executable file.  Executable file for adding or deleting permissions for users and or groups.  dop database.

       Commands: sysman(8)
