  • 1.  How to Customize Smit for help desk

    Hi!

    I need to customize the smit menu for the help desk department. They should only have access to:
    Change a users password
    Lock/unlock a users account
    Reset user's failed login count

    I would like that the smit menu appear when they login.

    They aren't root users so they should have privileges to make those changes under smit only.

    Thanks for any help...

    I would highly recommend researching this before doing anything. This document does show you how to test it first which I would also highly recommend.

    good luck.

    add the following lines as the final entries
    smitty user
    exit
    make sure u disable the shell out option in smitty
    and also trap ^c and ^z before hand so they cannot interrupt it while smit is laoding
