Operating Systems AIX List of AIX commands that can be run by ROOT user ONLY Post 302783043 by alister on Tuesday 19th of March 2013 09:39:46 PM
Old 03-19-2013
I am not familiar with AIX, but perhaps you could search for all executables that are owned by root and for which only root has executable permission:
Code:
find /sbin /usr/sbin -user root -perm -100 ! -perm -010 ! -perm -001

I used two directories (/sbin, /usr/sbin) which (at least on systems that I've used) typically include system daemons and utilities.

Regards,
Alister

/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

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
