Limiting Service Privileges in the Solaris 10 Operating System

Limiting Service Privileges in the Solaris 10 Operating System

by Glenn Brunette
May, 2005

This Sun BluePrints Cookbook describes how to use the Solaris 10 Service Management Facility (SMF) to start a service at boot time (or at any later time) with reduced privileges. This is accomplished by setting the user, group, and set of privileges used to start the service. This article describes how to accomplish this in a practical context using a real service as an example.
