Securing Solaris
I just rebuilt my Ultra 1 to use as a NMS and a general unix box. I was looking to lock the thing down tighter than....welll you get my point
anyways...i came across these two links that might be of some use to some people. The article is dated a few years ago, but it should apply to Solaris 2.x
The Solaris Security FAQ
Unix Insider 1/1/01
Peter Baer Galvin, Unix Insider
The following is a list of questions that are frequently asked about Solaris 2.x Security.
The Solaris Security FAQ
this article has some pieces of redundant info that is in the first article, but it's another resource
Solaris security broadly falls under two groups - one is where the system is accessible using local area network/vlan and it has to be secured against unauthorized access. Second is system is accessible over the Internet to a number of persons and it has to be protected against unauthorized access using network or security loopholes.
This document details some of the focus areas for security and provides suggestions to make it strong.
1. Latest patches
2. Access to the system.
3. Run level and network services
4. ip module
5. System file , /etc/system

enjoy.

I just recently reviewed a book that I thought was pretty good. It covers the previous release- Solaris 8, but I think the majority of the information is still valid in Solaris 9.
I am no Sun Solaris guru- in fact I have never even dabbled on a Solaris system, but I felt like the book provided a good level of information to introduce someone to securing a Solaris system without overwhelming them.
The book is Hack Proofing Sun Solaris 8 from Syngress Publishing. You can check out my review here: Hack Proofing Sun Solaris 8

Nice article, thanks for the info
[gloworange]And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict\'s veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. \"This is it... this is where I belong...\" I know everyone here... even if I\'ve never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...[/gloworange]

Already mentioned these in a thread a few days ago:

Management scripts, FAQ's, Tutorials, tweaks (OS and TCP/IP). There are some pretty nice things at the site.

There is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect...There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why'. 'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.
