I attempted to add the dtrace privileges to /etc/user_attr but it does
not appear to work. I found a writeup from 2005 asking about this, but
the answer does not seem to work for me. I set it to
mylogin:::defaultpriv=basic,dtrace_user,dtrace_proc,dtrace_kernel
but I still get the message (when I try to run iosnoop)
dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace requires additional privileges
I had checked the iosnoop man page and it says that dtrace_kernel is required.

Try adding that, and see if it works. After you''ve done that, you can check the privileges on your shell with ppriv: ultra20$ ppriv $$ 146999: -ksh flags = <none> E: basic I: basic P: basic L: all ultra20$ The above shell has only the basic privileges. You should see something like this: ultra20$ ppriv $$ 147444: -ksh flags = <none> E: basic,dtrace_kernel,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user I: basic,dtrace_kernel,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user P: basic,dtrace_kernel,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user L: all ultra20$ Chad

Thanks for spotting the obvious typo that I missed. -- Sabba - ??? ??? - Hillel Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz | Said the fox to the fish, "Join me ashore" SabbaHillel at gmail.com | The fish are the Jews, Torah is our water http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7637/544/640/SabbaHillel.jpg
