In addition to being much more fine-grain-controllable, RBAC offers you the convenience, that you do not need to re-type the password every time you run pfexec. RBAC originates from Trusted Solaris 2.5.1, then 8, now 10 & OSyyyy.mm. It has highest level security certifications not many other operating systems ever pass, whether with or without similar clones of Trusted Extensions. -- Martin _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
