'op' is a tool designed to allow customizable super user access,
you can do everthing from emulating giving a super user shell
for nothing to only allowing one or two users access via login
names, or special passwords that are neither root, nor their own.
Plus, as an added bonus, for those commands that you would like
users to be able to use, but need to place restrictions on the
arguments, you can configure that as well. (ie. if you want
your users to be able to mount NFS file systems).
Op was orginally developed at Convex by Tom Christiansen, and
subsequently publised in a USENEX LISA procedings. This version
was developed entierly from the description that was published.
This release is the first official release of 'op', for those of you
who have the alpha release, only two tiny fixes have been made.
It has been sudgested that I get the syslog logging to conform to
the Convex version, but this will follow in a latter patch.
If you have any problems or find any bugs, please report them to:
op-bugs@mips.com
Enjoy,
