What terrible things might happen if I change the permissions on the smit and smitty commands so that only root can execute the program?
 
Even if a user runs smit, he will not be able to do anything other than view.

I haven't ever tried changing permissions on the smit commands, but I don't know of any reason why that would matter.

Hi,
you can edit /etc/security/smitacl.group, /etc/security/smitacl.user
(man smitacl.group, man smitacl.user).
