What I've heard is a very, VERY loose security profile for the default
install... hack proof IRIX is possible with a good admin, but the
default load is far from secure.
The IRIX setup wizard includes questions like:
Would you like to set a root password? <default no>
Would you like to require user passwords at login? <default no>
Would you like to use shadow passwords? <default no>
clearly, they have a VERY robust security model in mind at the
factory...*cough*
