Well, trusted Solaris has passed B2 certification, IIRC.
The tradition UNIX role of root is pretty much meaningless,
having been replaced by roles.

Trusted Solaris also has MAC (mandatory access control)
in addition to UNIX's traditional DAC (discretionary
access control, i.e., file permissions). There's lots of
other stuff in there which I'm not too familiar with, as
it's been a while since I even looked at it.
