LPROTECT(8)                     Domain/OS BSD                      LPROTECT(8)




NAME
     lprotect - control local protection

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/lprotect [-e rootlocal] [-d rootlocal]

DESCRIPTION
     The lprotect command controls local protection attributes on a node.
     Currently, this command enables requests by root (locksmith) to be
     honored only if they originate locally (rootlocal), i.e. from a local
     process.  If no options are specified, the current state of rootlocal is
     returned.  To change the state of the rootlocal attribute, you must be
     running as root (locksmith).

OPTIONS
     -e rootlocal        Enables local-only root requests.

     -d rootlocal        Disables local-only root requests.

EXAMPLE
     1. Show current status.

     $ /etc/lprotect
     "local-only root requests" is disabled. (-d rootlocal)


     2. Enable local root requests

     $ /etc/lprotect -e rootlocal
     $ /etc/lprotect
       "local-only root requests" is enabled.


     3. Disable local root requests

     $ /etc/lprotect -d rootlocal
