% Speaking about root or limited root, does anyone happen to know % how to give like a account with limited root priviliges such as add/delete % users and changing a users password via a shell that calls up a shell % script but without full access as root. % % Operator Shell The Operator Shell (Osh) is a setuid root, security enhanced, restricted shell. It allows the administrator to carefully limit the access of special commands and files to the users whose duties require their use, while at the same time automatically maintaining audit records. The configuration file for Osh contains an administrator defined access profile for each authorized user or group. This profile lists the commands which may be run and specific access rights for files and directories. In addition to this fine grain distribution of privilege, all typed commands are logged along with a notation of their success or failure, offering a comprehensive audit log.
