I don't like setting the user to the root UID, but this is how you get an account with root access. When adding via the web interfaces, it does the same thing. I think Check Point made a mess of the auth permissions as they have in the past. Without setting the root uid above, a user can't run fw commmands like "fw stat" and you get error upon login.
example login error:
/opt/CPshrd-R75.40/tmp/.CPprofile.sh: line 96: /opt/CPcvpn-R75.40/scripts/CVPNprofile.sh: Permission denied
# ls -l /opt/CPcvpn-R75.40/scripts/CVPNprofile.sh -rwxrwx--- 1 admin bin 82 Apr 4 2012 /opt/CPcvpn-R75.40/scripts/CVPNprofile.sh
The users group needs to be added to /etc/ssh/sshd_config "AllowedGroups" line. All check point allows there is the root group. Go figure. Sounds insecure to me.
When adding via the WebUI
- cat /etc/passwd|grep jsmith
jsmith:x:0:100:john smith:/home/jsmith:/bin/bash
