.........

hiho,

in solaris 9 you can use different security features:
IPsec with IKE
Extensible Password Encryption
Secure LDAP
Extended File Attributes
Flexible Installation
GSS-API
RBAC
Kerberos
RPCSEC-GSS
PAMs
SunScreen (FW)

sun provides an Solaris Security Toolkit called JASS:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/security/jass/faq.html
be carefull using JASS, if you don't really no what you are doing... you have to reconfigure many files after the installation of JASS... I'm using it on my workstation (B100+S9) but it took me a long time to get the blade back to an userfriedly workstation ;-)

for local security you could also use the search function of this forum... i'm sure you will find enough

nice link for sol6&sol7 will also be helpfull for sol9:
