Opensolaris 2008.05 root user

Its generally good practice to use non-root user and when you require certain commands to be run as root you can use pfexec command. Pfexec is somewhat similar to sudo but much powerful than sudo.

$pfexec bash

When you install OpenSolaris 2008.05 if you specify username during installation, then it permits login only for non-root user. Run the following command so that root can login as a user.

#rolemod -K type=normal root
