Well, I trust Solaris. Simply put.

In order to hack into a Solaris box I think that you pretty much have to get
through SSH and then somehow drop a kernel module into place or something
that can not be tracked with ps, prstat, sar activity or userland activity
of any kind. God forbid that I turn on system accounting. Heck, I think you
would need to at least have a user account waiting for you other than root
because you just can't login to Solaris as root unless you are at the box.
By default.

Really, I don't know how someone would hack a Solaris box.
