Not quite. What you see in the lsuser output is what I described under the unlikely but possible problems.
For reasons of security I'd disable rlogin for root so that the loginretries can be disabled.
Hi folks,
I'm trying to install a program, and I want to place some of the executables into /usr/bin so that they can be executed from any folder on the computer. I've been giveng the root password, but told never to log in directly as root. Instead, I can wait for a password prompt. However, I... (2 Replies)
I am able to get into single user mode as part of the process of resetting a lost root password, but once I am in that mode, my keyboard no longer works. Any ideas on what's wrong? Without the keyboard, I am stuck. (1 Reply)
Hello All,
I have several solaris boxes running Solaris 8. When changing root passwords on them, all will simply ask for the new root password to change and of course to re-type the new password. One of the systems however asks for the existing root password before it will display the new password... (8 Replies)

roles
roles(1) User Commands roles(1)NAME
roles - print roles granted to a user
SYNOPSIS
roles [ user ...]
DESCRIPTION
The command roles prints on standard output the roles that you or the optionally-specified user have been granted. Roles are special
accounts that correspond to a functional responsibility rather than to an actual person (referred to as a normal user).
Each user may have zero or more roles. Roles have most of the attributes of normal users and are identified like normal users in passwd(4)
and shadow(4). Each role must have an entry in the user_attr(4) file that identifies it as a role. Roles can have their own authorizations
and profiles. See auths(1) and profiles(1).
Roles are not allowed to log into a system as a primary user. Instead, a user must log in as him-- or herself and assume the role. The
actions of a role are attributable to the normal user. When auditing is enabled, the audited events of the role contain the audit ID of the
original user who assumed the role.
A role may not assume itself or any other role. Roles are not hierarchical. However, rights profiles (see prof_attr(4)) are hierarchical
and can be used to achieve the same effect as hierarchical roles.
Roles must have valid passwords and one of the shells that interprets profiles: either pfcsh, pfksh, or pfsh. See pfexec(1).
Role assumption may be performed using su(1M), rlogin(1), or some other service that supports the PAM_RUSER variable. Successful assumption
requires knowledge of the role's password and membership in the role. Role assignments are specified in user_attr(4).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Sample output
The output of the roles command has the following form:
example% roles tester01 tester02
tester01 : admin
tester02 : secadmin, root
example%
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
