Exclude components from write protection

Prev Next

You can exclude specific components from a write-protected directory or volume.

Task

Run this command at the command prompt.
sadmin write-protect -e pathname1 ... pathnameN

When you specify a file path to be excluded from a write-protected component, write protection is removed from only that specific file.

Specify the complete path for the components to be excluded from write protection. For example:

  • # sadmin write-protect -e /etc/security/limits.conf
