Hack Proofing Sun Solaris 8

"As a child, my father and I tried to design a birdfeeder that was easily accessible by birds but impossible to reach by squirrels. Our birdfeeders ranged from the simple to the absurd. Each design worked temporarily, but eventually the squirrels would figure out a way around our defenses. Our efforts were helping breed a smarter, craftier squirrel. The "Ultimate Squirrel-Proof Birdfeeder" scenario is similar to the challenges we face in computer security. How can we provide easy access to resources by the authorized users and still deny unauthorized access? Luckily, as Solaris System Administrators, we have some excellent tools available to us. Sun Microsystems has spent a great deal of effort in designing Solaris to be both stable and secure. This book is your reference guide for not only securing your Solaris systems, but also for securing the environment in which they operate."
