About this release
Privilege Manager for Unix protects the full power of root from potential misuse or abuse. With Privilege Manager there is no need to worry about anyone deleting critical files, modifying file permissions or databases, reformatting disks, or doing more subtle damage. Privilege Manager enables you to define a security policy that stipulates who has access to which root functions, as well as when and where they can perform those functions. It controls access to existing programs as well as purpose-built utilities that run common system administration tasks. At the administrator's request, Privilege Manager can protect sensitive data from network monitoring by encrypting the root commands or sessions it controls, including control messages and input keyed by users while running commands through Privilege Manager.
Privilege Manager for Unix 6.1 is a minor release that includes support for Starling Two-Factor Authentication, updated platform support for clients, updated Privileged Shells, and Bash shell support. See New features, Enhancements, and Deprecated features.
