About This Manual
This manual describes features of the Safeguard software that are reserved for
security administrators and privileged users. The first section of this manual introduces
the Safeguard software and presents general guidelines and recommendations for
establishing system security.
The remainder of the manual covers:
•
Controlling user access to the system; setting up local and network communities to
use SAFECOM (that is, providing Safeguard protection for users)
•
Assigning aliases to users
•
Establishing file-sharing groups of users
•
Securing disk volumes and nondisk device
•
Using OBJECTTYPE authorization to designate who has control of specific types
of system resources
•
Defining terminals so that the Safeguard software can start specific command
interpreters at those terminals
•
Using warning mode to test the effectiveness of your access control lists (ACLs)
•
Configuring the Safeguard software to match the needs of your security policy
•
Managing the Safeguard subsystem—including instructions for installing and
monitoring the Safeguard software
Appendix A, SAFECOM Command Syntax, summarizes the syntax of all SAFECOM
commands, including those available to the general user.
This manual uses examples to introduce the SAFECOM commands and illustrate
typical usage. For more information about the syntax and all the SAFECOM
commands, see the Safeguard Reference Manual.
The reader of this manual is assumed to know how to run SAFECOM, the Safeguard
command interpreter, and how to use the Safeguard software to secure disk files,
subvolumes, and processes. These topics are covered in the Safeguard User's Guide.
In addition, before reading this manual, you should be familiar with the Introduction to
Tandem NonStop Systems (D-series RVUs), NonStop S-Series Servers Introduction
(G-series RVUs), and the Guardian User's Guide.
