I'm attempting to setup rootsh on Solaris 10 to log the activity of users who require root access. However it does not appear to be sourcing root's .profile file even when run with the '-i' option. I was wondering if anybody else has run into this and might have a solution.
Thank you. (9 Replies)

Hi,
I am trying to modifying the root user .profile file, but I cannot find it.
If I do the command "echo $SHELL", i get /sbin/sh

ADDUSER(8) System Manager's Manual ADDUSER(8)
NAME
adduser - procedure for adding new users
DESCRIPTION
A new user must choose a login name, which must not already appear in /etc/passwdor /etc/aliases. It must also not begin with the hyphen
(``-'') character. It is strongly recommended that it be all lower-case, and not contain the dot (``.'') character, as that tends to con-
fuse mailers. An account can be added by editing a line into the passwd file; this must be done with the password file locked e.g. by
using chpass(1) or vipw(8).
A new user is given a group and user id. Login's and user id's should be unique across the system, and often across a group of systems,
since they are used to control file access. Typically, users working on similar projects will be put in the same groups. At the Univer-
sity of California, Berkeley, we have groups for system staff, faculty, graduate students, and special groups for large projects.
A skeletal account for a new user "ernie" might look like:
ernie::25:30::0:0:Ernie Kovacs,508 Evans Hall,x7925,642-8202:/a/users/ernie:/bin/csh
For a description of each of these fields, see passwd(5).
It is useful to give new users some help in getting started, supplying them with a few skeletal files such as .profile if they use
"/bin/sh", or .cshrc and .login if they use "/bin/csh". The directory "/usr/skel" contains skeletal definitions of such files. New users
should be given copies of these files which, for instance, use tset(1) automatically at each login.
FILES
/etc/master.passwd user database
/usr/skel skeletal login directory
SEE ALSO
chpass(1), finger(1), passwd(1), aliases(5), passwd(5), mkpasswd(8), vipw(8)
BUGS
User information should (and eventually will) be stored elsewhere.
