roles config file ,to define roles
user_role config file, to define the roles for each user, through which authorizations, roles and their mappings
can be defined
Plan the required roles for users, plan the authorizations required for the roles, and then plan the authorization-to-
command mappings.
HP-UX RBAC supplies previously mentioned configurations with privileges only to the administrator, these
configuration files can be modified accordingly to restrict access to admin and users.
HP recommends the following suggestions for the root account apart from using the HP-UX RBAC:
Do not share the root password.
Do not use / as the root home directory.
Examine output from last -R and lastb -R for unusual or failed root logins and to see who has logged in as root.
Examine /var/adm/sulog for attempts to use the su root command.
Look for unauthorized accounts with a UID of zero (0); use the logins –d command.
