I finally decided to take the bullet and make root a role instead of a user.
All went well except for my nightly backup.
I have a backup server that rsyncs my various collection of Linux,
OpenIndiana, Windows, and Mac machines nightly. Without root as a user, how
do I set up rsync to ssh onto the machine and retrieve the root system files
on OpenIndiana?
There are two ways as I see it:
1. Start rsyncd (see
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/rsync+daemon+service+on+OpenIndiana)
and set up a share for '/' which you then can rsync against. You can
either do this directly over the network (unencrypted) or SSH into the
machine and connect to rsyncd through localhost.
I'll second that recommendation, it is the way I rsync off anything
derived from OpenSolaris. From what I've seen, this option offers the
best performance.
I lock the share down so only the backup server can read from it, see
rsync.conf(5) for details.
