Off the top of mu head, this seems contradictory. If you have read, write, and execute on any file, that means new user creation is possible. If you employ ACL's and block this special user from accessing files then what happens when the user employs setfacl (or whatever tool) to undo your change to the ACL?
Absolutely! If someone is allowed to do "everything" then everything it is - no less!
I remember a former customer took away root privileges for a certain system from us system administrators but because we were still supposed to edit a certain file owned by root (!) they created a sudo rule for us:
They wondered why we still became root whenever we needed to and probably still are wondering, LOL!

I don't know Solaris too well but RBAC (Role Based Access Control) is available in AIX for about 10-15 years. I would strongly prefer jumping out of the next available window to using it, though. It makes the administration of a system practically impossible (yes, i know all the "but"s - i still stand by what i said). My advice: stay away as far as you can. If you can't do it with standard UNIX privileges it isn't worth doing and/or your model is plain wrong.
I need to set up/modify a user account on one of our machines which will allow the user to stay on the system, but not use their user id and password to login to the machine. It is for the purposes of an ftp user, so that nobody can then login as ftp/passwd. Ta.:) (2 Replies)

lastlogin
LASTLOGIN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual LASTLOGIN(8)NAME
lastlogin -- indicate last login time of users
SYNOPSIS
lastlogin [-f file] [-rt] [user ...]
DESCRIPTION
The lastlogin utility will list the last login session of each specified user, or for all users by default. Each line of output contains the
user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any hostname, and the start time for the session.
If more than one user is given, the session information for each user is printed in the order given on the command line. Otherwise, informa-
tion for all users is printed. By default, the entries are sorted by user name.
The lastlogin utility differs from last(1) in that it only prints information regarding the very last login session. The last login database
is never turned over or deleted in standard usage.
The following options are available:
-f file
Open last login database file instead of the system-wide database.
-r Print the entries in reverse sorted order.
-t Sort the elements by last login time, instead of user name.
FILES
/var/log/utx.lastlogin last login database
