Administration Tasks as a Privileged User
Hello,
I was taking a look at Oracle Solaris 11 Express Release Notes when the following passage caught my attention.
"In addition, that user is granted the Software Installation rights profile, which includes commands like pkg and beadm . For such commands, the user need not assume the root role. Instead, the user can invoke a subshell. For example, pfsh , from which to invoke these commands. It is no longer necessary to use the pfexec command."
So I decided to give it a try with the belief it could really be nice.
My command was:
user1@bruma:~$ pfsh
user1@bruma:~$ pkg update
