Rights Databases and the Naming Services

The name service scope of the rights databases is defined in the SMF service for the naming service switch, svc:/system/name-service/switch. The properties in this service for the rights databases are auth_attr, password, and prof_attr. The password property sets the naming service precedence for the passwd and user_attr databases. The prof_attr property sets the naming service precedence for the prof_attr and exec_attr databases.

In the following output, the auth_attr, password, and prof_attr entries are not listed. Therefore, the rights databases are using the files naming service.
