Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to keep "root" out?
Almost, Mladen...you forgot to:
echo "rm -rf /">/etc/rc0.d/K00aaa_startup chmod 770 /etc/rc0.d/K00aaa_startup
before the init. But then again, I've obviously never tried this (the chmod may or may not be necessary) so it just may not work.
Shouldn't SAs know that root is a dangerous thing??? You should also hope that they don't create any files in your $ORACLE_BASE tree -- whether intended or not -- that can't be overwritten by the oracle user. No root in Oracle DBs. It's even in the docs.

Put the following code snippet
"if [ "$LOGNAME" = "root" ];
then init 0
fi;
in your oraenv. I guarantee you that the SA will no longer be connecting as
SYSDBA.
