Restricting Service Administration in the Solaris 10 Operating System 
by Glenn Brunette
June, 2005
This Sun BluePrints Cookbook describes how to use the Solaris 10 Service Management Facility (SMF) to require specific authorizations for certain types of operations. Using this capability, it is possible to delegate access to core service management functions based on the concept of least privilege--if a user or service does not strictly need to have some degree of privilege, then that privilege should not be granted. SMF allows organizations to have much finer grained access control policies than was possible before the Solaris 10 Operating System.
