thanks. I wish, usermod had an option to append to the existing privilege

- sriram

HI
I am running on opensolaris build 111a. When I added the following line
usermod -K defaultpriv=dtrace_kernel sriramn

and tried to log back in, GUI login does not work. I get a very cryptic message saying unable to login or some thing like that

Has any one run into this issue before ? Am I missing some thing or is this some new bug ?

You omitted "basic" when you specifed the privileges, so now your user lacks the necessary privileges to login.

You should have done this:

usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,dtrace_kernel sriramn

I think you'll now have to boot to an older boot environment, mount the new boot environment, edit the /etc/user_attr by hand, unmount the boot environment and then restart.

Cheers,
