Trusted Solaris User's Guide

Making Theft of Passwords More Difficult

Because intruders generally break into systems by guessing passwords, the Trusted Solaris environment supplies several options for tightening password security. Users may be required to change passwords at certain intervals or by set expiration dates. In addition, there is a password generator that creates random, non-language passwords. Check with your administrator to see which of these options are used at your site.
