NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       dop  - Allows a user to execute a privileged program without
 knowing the root password. The dop command also  modifies
 the action database.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/dop [-n  | -N] [ui:] action [args]

       /usr/sbin/dop    -a   priv[,priv]...   action   [ui:]pathspec[,[ui:]pathspec]...


       /usr/sbin/dop -a priv[,priv]... [ui:]pathspec

       /usr/sbin/dop -d  action

       /usr/sbin/dop [-w  | -W]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Invokes a prompt asking the user if they want to  run  the
       command  as  a  user  or  as  root.  The  root password is
       required to run as root.  Attempts to run the action  with
       the   user  privileges.   Adds  new  actions  to  the  dop
       database.   Deletes  an  existing  action  from  the   dop
       database.   Writes  a  binary  image  without changing the
       source.  Updates the actionlist from the dop  action  file
       and  then  executes the -w option, which writes the binary
       image.

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Name of privileged program to invoke Arguments to pass  to
       the application guarded by the privilege.  Comma separated
       privilege list (see sysman dopconfig) The fully  qualified
       path name and arguments for the associated action.

              When  specified  by  a comma separated pathlist and
              arguments  for  multiple  user  interface   domains
              (ui:),  the first ui: argument specified is used as
              the default. If no action is  specified,  then  the
              path  base name is used. An asterisk in pathspec is
              replaced by the user-supplied command line argument
              at  run-time  argument.  Path  arguments  should be
              quoted per the current shell.   Optional.   A  user
              interface domain, typically one of X11, suit, java,
              menu, cui, or cli.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The dop (Division of Privileges) command  can  execute  an
