Description

The ftpusers file allows the administrator to set accounts that shall not be

 

allowed to log in through the ftpd. Default system users should not be allowed

 

access to the system through the ftpd because it sends the username and

 

password in clear text over the network. HP-UX Bastille disallows ftp logins

 

to a WU-FTPD server from the following users: root, daemon, bin, sys, adm,

 

uucp, lp, nuucp, hpdb, and guest. If you have a compelling reason to allow

 

these users ftp access, then answer no to this question. Use this as a secondary

 

measure if you deactivated the ftp server.

Actions

Add the following user names to the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file: root,

 

daemon, bin, sys, adm, uucp, lp, nuucp, hpdb, and guest.

HP_UX.gui_banner

Headline

Set up a login banner for graphical login.

Default

N

Description

Setting a GUI login banner notifies users that they may use the system, but

 

they are subject to local policy and monitoring. It also serves as notification

 

that the system is not for public use. This helps eliminate the claims of "I

 

thought anyone could use it."

Actions

For all Xresources files in /usr/dt/config/* directories, modify the

 

matching /etc/dt/config/*/Xresources file by adding the following

 

lines:

 

Dtlogin*greeting.labelString: "Authorized users only. All activity may be monitored and

 

reported."

 

Dtlogin*greeting.persLabelString: "Authorized users only. All activity may be monitored

 

and reported."

 

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

HP_UX.mail_config

Headline

Default

Description

The HP-UX Bastille development team would like to know how you use

 

HP-UX Bastille. Based on how you answer these questions, HP can meet your

 

needs better. You can help by sending your configuration and TODO.txt files

 

back to HP. Answering yes to this question does that automatically. If you

 

feel that your hostname or your security configuration is confidential,

 

answerno. The information is sent unencrypted over the public Internet. If

 

outbound mail is unable to reach the Internet from this machine, answer no.

 

If you have suggestions for improvements, new questions, code, or tests,

 

discuss these on the Bastille Linux discussion list at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/

 

mailman/listinfo/bastille-linux-discuss. You can provide feedback concerning

 

HP-UX Bastille directly to the IT Resource Center at http://itrc.hp.com, using

 

the System Administration or Security forum. Please send all comments. We

 

want to hear from you.

Actions

Mail the /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/config and /var/opt/

 

sec_mgmt/bastille/TODO.txt files to HP so we can improve HP-UX

 

Bastille.
