System auditing enables the ability to trace every system call issued by each user on the system. Non-trusted systems run with system auditing disabled. 2. Trusted systems have improved password management. Below is a list of password management features: a. Specification of a grace period and expiration period for passwords. b. The ability to specify system-wide password aging. c. The ability to specify an absolute account life. d. The ability to disable accounts after repeated login failures. e. Passwords lengths of up to forty (40) characters. f. The ability to access a random password generator. 3. Trusted systems have additional login restrictions, while non-trusted systems do not. Below are the features of trusted system login restrictions: a. In addition to account disabling, the account may also be locked. b. Setting accounts to be accessed only at certain times of the day. c. The ability to specify account location access. In other words, account access at specific devices, workstations, and so on. d. The ability to specify a single-user boot password. Note: These login restrictions are NOT available on NON-TRUSTED systems. 4. A trusted system has shadowed passwords, while a non-trusted system does not have shadowed passwords. Shadowed passwords are kept in locations other than /etc/passwd. This prevents users from viewing the /etc/passwd file and determining which accounts do not have passwords. This also prevents hackers from running "password cracker programs" against passwords in the /etc/passwd file.
