Special thanks to Frank Wortner and Dr. Tom Blinn for the answer below:
These entries are not associated with Tru64 functionality, rather MLS+, which is based on Tru64. Therefore, they offer no additional capabilities to the user. Sudo is the suggested method for delegating privileged
operations to non-privileged users.
Thanks
