We can easily add it back to the profile description and to the execution profile databases. After this, we can run pfexec(1) without a password. Run the following as root: echo 'Primary Administrator:suser:cmd:::*:uid=0;gid=0' >> /etc/security/exec_attr echo 'Primary Administrator:::All administrative tasks:auths=solaris.*;solaris.grant;help=RtPriAdmin.html' >> /etc/security/prof_attr usermod -P "Primary Administrator" aram Aram Hăvărneanu 2018 6 7 Create the new user pfexec useradd -u 5008 -g staff -s /bin/bash -m -P 'Primary Administrator' -K 'defaultpriv=basic,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user' foo pfexec passwd -N foo References Context Backlinks Related https://xw.is/solaris/ solaris /solaris/ Solaris Software https://www.oracle.com/solaris Proprietary Unix operating system originally developed by Sun Microsystems.
