Full Discussion: Block any root Privilege
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Block any root Privilege Post 303037916 by hicksd8 on Saturday 17th of August 2019 10:11:13 AM

In addition to which operating system you are dealing with (as asked by Neo), can you please tell us what problem you are trying to solve.

The basic concept of any operating system kernel includes security in that, upon a new installation, a single superuser ('root' on Unix/Linux and 'administrator' on Windows) has ultimate control. Unless the superuser "gives away" access rights nobody else can just take them. If rights are given away (e.g. via sudoers file) they can always be rescinded by the superuser. What are you trying to do here?

NAME
keylogout - delete stored secret key with keyserv SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/keylogout [-f] DESCRIPTION
keylogout deletes the key stored by the key server process keyserv(1M). Further access to the key is revoked; however, current session keys might remain valid until they expire or are refreshed. Deleting the keys stored by keyserv causes any background jobs or scheduled at(1) jobs that need secure RPC services to fail. Since only one copy of the key is kept on a machine, it is a bad idea to place a call to this command in your .logout file since it affects other sessions on the same machine. If multiple NIS+ authentication mechanisms are configured for the system, then all keys stored by the key server process is deleted, including keys that are no longer configured. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Force keylogout to delete the secret key for the superuser. By default, keylogout by the superuser is disallowed because it would break all RPC services, such as NFS, that are started by the superuser. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |Availability SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ SEE ALSO
at(1), chkey(1), login(1), keylogin(1), keyserv(1M), newkey(1M), nisauthconf(1M), publickey(4), attributes(5) NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the Solaris operating system. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are available in the current Solaris release. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html. SunOS 5.11 2 Dec 2005 keylogout(1)
