HP UX Bastille Software AccountSecurity.cronuser, AccountSecurity.gui_login, AccountSecurity.crontabs_file, AccountSecurity.hidepasswords

Default	N
Description	HP-UX Bastille can restrict root from logging into a tty over the network. This
	forces administrators to log in first as a non-root user, then su to become root.
	Root logins are still permitted on the console and through services that do not
	use tty's like HP-UX Secure Shell.
Actions	Create or replace the file /etc/securetty with the single entry console.

AccountSecurity.crontabs_file

Headline	Ensure the crontab files are only accessible by root.
Default	Y
Description	Because a variety of administrators, scripts, and users edit crontab files,
	sometimes these files contain incorrect permissions. HP-UX Bastille ensures
	these files can only be read and changed by the root user. Perform this task
	to ensure these files can only be read and written-to by root, with the crontab
	command.
Actions	Change ownership and permissions for all crontab files permitting access only
	to root.

AccountSecurity.cronuser

Headline	Restrict the use of cron to administrative accounts.
Default	N
Description	The cron function allows you to schedule jobs to run automatically at a certain
	time, possibly recurring. Administrators can use cron to check the system
	logs every night at midnight or confirm file integrity every hour. However,
	executing jobs later or automatically represents a privilege that can be abused
	and makes actions slightly harder to track.
Actions	Delete the file cron.deny
	Create or replace the file cron.allow with a single entry for user root
	Set permissions to 0400
	Change ownership to root:sys

AccountSecurity.gui_login

Headline	Disable the local graphical login.
Default	Y
Description	Most servers do not have a graphics console directly attached, and do not run
	a graphics login. Disabling this feature reduces targets for hackers and saves
	system resources for systems that do not have a graphics console.
Actions	In the /etc/rc.config.d/xfs file, set RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=0.
	In the /etc/rc.config.d/audio file, set AUDIO_SERVER=0.
	In the /etc/rc.config.d/slsd file, set SLSD_DAEMON=0.
	In the /etc/rc.config.d/desktop file, set DESKTOP=0.
	Terminate the following daemon processes if running: xfs, Aserver, SLSd,
	dtlogin, dtrc.

AccountSecurity.hidepasswords

Headline	Hide the encrypted passwords on this system.
