HP-UX 11i Security by Christian Wong

No other book offers this much HP-UX specific security coverage! In this authoritative, comprehensive administrator's guide, leading HP-UX consultant Chris Wong covers every key aspect of HP-UX host security. Wong introduces "hot-off-the-press" HP-UX 11i capabilities and techniques for keeping mission-critical systems safe -- even when firewalls fail and backdoors are discovered. Coverage includes: securing NFS, UUCP, NNTP, DNS, NIS, NTP, the X Window System, and much more. Wong also introduces key public-domain HP-UX security tools, showing how to install, configure, and take full advantage of them. For all HP-UX system administrators, from novice to advanced-level; and for consultants, managers, security specialists, and others responsible for securing HP-UX systems.
