Many additional security features are available when running the system in trusted mode. It is recommended that you enable trusted mode through SAM. You can find more information on the major differences between trusted and non-trusted modes in the HP-UX FAQ http://www.faqs.org/faqs/hp/hpux-faq/section-68.html and at the HP document "Administering your HP-UX Trusted System" (B2355-90121) available at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90121/B2355-90121.html

When the system is in trusted mode, HP-UX can enforce a default number of login attempts before the account is disabled. This is useful for preventing potential intruders from brute forcing and/or guessing passwords. Since limiting the number of logins can also be used as a Denial of Service attack, the number of login attempts is configurable on a per-user basis. Read the default(4) and modprpw(1M) man pages for additional information.
