Curry File name:pubdocguidelinesDave_Curry_Security_doc.tar.Z File size: 175811 bytes Abstract: Many useful guidelines for improving the security of your unix system. UNIX system security can be divided into three main areas of concern. Two of these areas, account security and network security, are primarily concerned with keeping unauthorized users from gaining access to the system. The third area, file system security, is concerned with preventing unauthorized access, either by legitimate users or crackers, to the data stored in the system. This paper describes the UNIX security tools provided to make each of these areas as secure as possible.
