I don't know about "unix" in general ... looking at AIX V3 in particular,
I suspect they are:
o Access Control Lists (ACLs) on individual files.
o Getting the passwords where they can't be publically read
o Telling me when I log on when the last time I logged on was,
and how many times someone has tried to log onto my account
with an invalid password since I last logged on.
o Eliminating setuid shell scripts
o Providing alternatives to NFS with better security characteristics
(AFS's Kerberos-enabled security, for example).
