The policy.conf file provides a way of granting specific rights profiles, specific authorizations, and specific privileges to all users. The relevant entries in the file consist of key=value pairs:
AUTHS_GRANTED=authorizations – Refers to one or more authorizations.
PROFS_GRANTED=rights profiles – Refers to one or more rights profiles.
The following example shows some typical values from a policy.conf database:
# grep AUTHS /etc/security/policy AUTHS_GRANTED=solaris.device.cdrw # grep PROFS /etc/security/policy PROFS_GRANTED=Basic Solaris User # grep PRIV /etc/security/policy #PRIV_DEFAULT=basic #PRIV_LIMIT=all |
For more information about privileges, see Privileges (Overview).
