Line 2:

Unixes have a multi-tier security that permits user ''[[root (Linux)|root]]'' any system-wide changes. Regular users can be limited: where they can save files, what hardware they can access, their memory usage, applications, disk usage ([[disk quota|quota]]), and the range of [[Scheduling (computing)|priority]] settings they can apply, can all be specified to provide sufficient freedoms. If necessary they must become ''root''. (See <tt>[[su (Unix)|su]]</tt> or [[sudo]]). There are also group accounts management, and file and directory permissions.

LinuxUnix security software examples include for:

*Authentication modules, [[PAM]] and [[OPIE]];

*System logging, [[Syslog]];
