Solaris

Hello
I am a new (and only) administrator of a Solaris 10 environment. The previous admin gave me a use (say user123) that is supposed to have administrative privileges.
Now the problem is, the user does not have this privilege! Here is what i tried so far:

Code:

$ id
uid=109(user123) gid=1(other)
$ roles
admrole
$ cat /etc/user_attr
admrole::::type=role;profiles=Primary Administrator,Cron Management,All
user123::::type=normal;roles=admrole
root::::auths=solaris.*,solaris.grant;profiles=Web Console Management,All;lock_after_retries=no;min_label=admin_low;clearance=admin_high
$ pfexec id -a
uid=109(user123) gid=1(other) groups=(other)

Am i missing something? i am relatively new to Solaris so what is supposed to be done? and do i really have root priv as i've been told?

I forgot to mention something: when i do

Code:

su - admrole

and type my password it says

Code:

su: Sorry

perhaps you need to use 'sudo su'

It looks like you are using RBAC. So try this.

Code:

su admrole

You will need to know the roles password. Did the old admin give you the password?

As for sudo, RBAC and sudo are not usally installed on the same system.

I hope this helps.

Thanks all for your help
To close this thread, yes i didn't know that the admrole had a separate password than the user who belongs to that role (i'm a solaris newbie) so i called the admin and got the password. Problem solved thanks again
