RE: UNIX Security Mechanisms
Unix is having 3 ways of Security Mechanism: 1. By granting or revoking File permissions. Owner or Admin can change permissions to be given to group or others by using chmod command in Unix. 2. Login is restricted using login credetials ( User name and Password ). 3. Password is kept in encrypted format in the file /etc/passwd
