Components of OSS Security Management
See the Security Management Guide for an overview of both Guardian and OSS
security. See the Safeguard Audit Service Manual for a description of the SAFEART
program and the information logged for audited OSS files.
The commercial text Practical UNIX & Internet Security listed in UNIX Security on
page xix contains many suggestions for securing file systems. Those suggestions
include which actions to avoid in best-practice system administration.
