Hi Managers
 
    I have a Solaris 8 server that is behaving quite odd. I have set up an
RBAC role to allow an operator to perform some admin tasks. As I understand
it, an RBAC role should only allow a user to su to it, it should not allow
anyone to login to the server directly as the RBAC role. However in testing
I can always login to the server directly as the role. I have tried stopping
and starting nscd but this has no effect. I have also searched sunsolve for
any patches but I've found nothing (that doesn't mean there are no patches,
just that I haven't found them :). Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Below are a few detail with the usual security adjustments, if any one would
like more info let me know
 
System details:
SunOS HOSTNAME 5.8 Generic_117350-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
 
/etc/user_attr
username::::type=normal;roles=rolename
rolename::::type=role;profiles=profile name
 
 
Thanks for your help.
