Trusted Solaris 8 Installation and Configuration on the Sun Enterprise 10000

Superuser (root) Versus Administrative Roles

The Solaris superuser (root) has been replaced by Trusted Solaris administrative roles, such as root and admin. For the Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3 and the Trusted Solaris AP 2.3, any commands that superuser runs in a Solaris environment are run by the admin role in a Trusted Solaris environment. The admin role runs with a profile shell (pfsh), and should not be changed to run with other shells.
