HOWTO: fping using profiles(pfexec) Solaris10

There are 3 files that need to be updated so that fping can be executed as root (uid=0) on Solaris by a named user, in this case the hobbit user.

The three files in question are,

/etc/user_attr

/etc/security/exec_attr

/etc/security/prof_attr

These have been updated with the following lines

/etc/user_attr

hobbit::::profiles=Hobbit Commands

/etc/security/exec_attr

Hobbit Commands:solaris:cmd:::/usr/local/sbin/fping:uid=0

/etc/security/prof_attr

Hobbit Commands:::Hobbit Commands:
