Can someone get into my account?

SUMMARY

Not if you on't let anybody know your password and don't use common words or numbers as a password.

DETAILED SOLUTION

If somebody has the password to your account, they can get into your account without any trouble. As far as hackers go, it is extremely difficult to crack passwords on a Solaris system. Only the System Administrator has access to the file that holds the passwords, and even then, the passwords are encrypted so that not even the SysAdmin can read them. A hacker can try a brute force attack, but the amount of time required to get in would be extremely large (on the order of weeks or months).
