HP UX Bastille Software manual HPUX.restrictswacls, HPUX.scanports, HPUX.screensavertimeout

Actions	Adds a summary description of HP security and services to the TODO.txt
	file for user reference.

HP_UX.restrict_swacls

Headline	Restrict remote access to swlist.
Default	N
Description	The swagentd daemon allows remote access to list and install software on
	your system. This feature is convenient for remote administration. Security
	Patch Check can use this to query remote machines. It can also be a security
	risk because patch and other critical system information is available to anyone
	inside that system's firewall. HP recommends that you disallow the swagentd
	default, remote read access.
Actions	If the swagentd daemon is running, use swacl to remove remote read access:
	swacl -l host -D any_other
	swacl -l root -D any_other
	Otherwise, an item is created in the TODO.txt file to remind you to run HP-UX
	Bastille again when the daemon is up.

HP_UX.scan_ports

Headline	Provide instructions in your TODO.txt file on how to run a port scan.
Default	N
Description	One of the final steps in lock down is to verify that only the services you need
	are still running. Several tools do this, including netstat which is included
	with HP-UX, and lsof (List OpenFiles) which is a free downloadable tool.
	The lsof tool provides information about all the processes running on your
	system. If there are processes running that you don't recognize, take this
	opportunity to do some research and learn about them.
	IMPORTANT: Manual action required to complete this configuration. See
	the TODO.txt file for details.
Actions	Provide instructions in your TODO.txt file on how to run a port scan.
HP_UX.screensaver_timeout
Headline	Set the GUI screen-saver timeout to 10 minutes.
Default	N
Description	The GUI login screen-saver timeout varies from 10 to 30 minutes depending
	on the HP-UX version. This item ensures the value is set at a consistent 10
	minutes. Setting a short timeout ensures that extended absences don't leave
	a console unnecessarily open.
Actions	For all sys.resources files in /usr/dt/config/* directories, modify the
	matching /etc/dt/config/*/sys.resources file by adding the following
	lines:

dtsession*saverTimeout: 10

dtsession*lockTimeout: 10

Create the matching /etc/dt/config/*/sys.resources files if not present.

HP_UX.stack_execute

Headline Enable kernel-based stack-execute protection.
