Base HP-UX (10.20, 11.0, 11.11) supports a configuration known as
"trusted system", previously also called "commercial security".  There
are also other HP-UX CMW and "trusted OS" versions (I don't keep track
of those).  And there is some similarity in some of the protected
password database stuff (/tcb), which has a Secureware heritage.

PAM was available starting with HP-UX 10.X, but it was only supported
for use by CDE.  11.X should fully support PAM (with some hand-waving
in terms of what that might really mean--for example there is no
64-bit libpam).
