System Shell

The system shell, sysh(1M), enables commands in run control (rc) scripts to execute with privilege. For every command in the rc script, the sysh consults a rights profile for security attributes. If no specific rights profile is listed for the command, the /bin/sysh shell consults the boot rights profile.

The boot and inetd rights profiles are local to each computer. They specify commands that require security attributes during booting. The boot profile specifies security attributes for commands in /etc/init.d and /etc/inittab. The inetd profile specifies security attributes for commands in /etc/inetd.conf.

Do not assign these profiles to any user or role. The results are unpredictable.
