ADDPRIVUSER(1M)						       ADDPRIVUSER(1M)

NAME
     addprivuser - give a user all system administration privileges

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/addprivuser [ -auth auth-scheme ] username

DESCRIPTION
     addprivuser adds an entry to the privilegedUsers(4) database.  This gives
     username the ability to run all of the privileged commands in
     /var/sysadm/privbin as if he or she were root.

     In order to run addprivuser, you must either be running as root or you
     must provide the -auth auth-scheme arguments and pass the authentication
     test.  If auth-scheme is unix, then must you type the root password when
     prompted in order to pass.

     The ability to run addprivuser is not itself a privilege.	root cannot
     give other users the ability to add or remove privileges.

     addprivuser will print and log a warning if an NIS user account is given
     all privileges because it enables the administrator of the NIS server to
     use privileges on this workstation by changing the password of a user
     account that has privileges.

FILES
     /var/sysadm/privilegedUsers     Privileged users database
