Changing the Default Admin Editor

The Admin Editor is launched through the /usr/dt/bin/trusted_edit shell script, which brings up the editor specified in the EDITOR environment variable for the role account, restricts saves, and audits any changes made at the time the file is saved. The variable is set to adminvi(1M) by default, but the security administrator role can redefine the EDITOR variable to /usr/dt/bin/dtpad. When adminvi is specified, /bin/adminvi is invoked as root to edit the file. The adminvi command prevents the saving of the file with any other name. If dtpad(1) is specified, the New, Save, and Open options in the File menu are disabled when the action runs so that the file cannot be renamed.
