10.0;lprotect (local_protection), revision 1.0, 88/05/09
lprotect (local_protection) - Control local protection.
usage:  lprotect [ -rmtroot all | none | readonly ]



DESCRIPTION
     lprotect controls what privileges processes running as root (locksmith)
     on remote nodes have on the local node.  The argument you supply to the
     -rmtroot option controls these privileges:

          all        Full privileges.

          none       No privileges.

          readonly   Read privileges only.

     Run without the -rmtroot option, lprotect prints a message declaring the
     privileges currently granted to processes running as root (locksmith).

EXAMPLE
     To allow remote processes running as root (locksmith) on remote nodes to
     have no privileges on the local node, use lprotect like this:

     $ /etc/lprotect -rmtroot none

     To check the current privileges of remote processes running as root
     (locksmith), do this:

     $ /etc/lprotect
     No remote root requests are honored. (-rmtroot none)
