ADDDEFPRIV(1M)

 NAME

     adddefpriv - add a default system administration privilege to the system

 SYNOPSIS

     /usr/sysadm/bin/adddefpriv [ -auth auth-scheme ] privilege

 DESCRIPTION

     adddefpriv adds an entry to the defaultPrivileges(4) database, which has
     the effect of giving privilege to all users on the system.  This means
     that any user on the system can successfully run

          /usr/sysadm/bin/runpriv privilege

     (See runpriv(1M)).

     In order to run adddefpriv, 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 adddefpriv is not itself a privilege.  root cannot
     give other users the ability to add or remove privileges.
