Security and Network Setup

Network parameters secured

Sun's nddconfig security tool is run. For additional information, view Sun's document, Solaris Operating Environment Network Settings for Security, at http://www.sun.com/solutions/blueprints/ 1200/network-updt1.pdf.

Executable stacks disabled

The system stack is made non-executable. This is done so security exploitation programs cannot take advantage of the Solaris OE kernel executable system stack and thereby attack the system

NFS port monitor restricted

The NFS server normally accepts requests from any port number. The NFS Server is altered to process only those requests from privileged ports. Note that with the high security setting, NFS is disabled; however if the service is re-enabled manually the port restriction will still apply.

Remote CDE login disabled

The Remote CDE login is disabled.

DocuSP router capabilities disabled

The DocuSP router capabilities is disabled (empty /etc/notrouter file created).

Security warning banners

Security warning banners are displayed when a user logs in or telnets into the DocuSP server. This message explains that only authorized users should be using the system and that any others face the possibility of being monitored by law enforcement officials.

NOTE: DRW (DocuSP Remote Workflow) is not impacted by security settings.
