How does Process Rights Management compare to privilege models provided by Linux, SGI Irix, or other UNIX operating systems?
The Solaris OS development team looked closely at the experimental Linux privilege patches and other UNIX models. These existing solutions failed to offer the flexibility to work with existing customer file systems, required application recompiling, or were fixed in size, limiting, for example, the number of allowed privileges. Solaris Process Rights Management’s privilege model also has the advantage of growing out of the proven, extensive capabilities of the Trusted Solaris Operating System.
