Description

Allow_host.equiv_plus

Background: The /etc/hosts.equiv and /.rhosts files provide the remote
authentication database for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rexec. The files
specify remote hosts and users that are considered to be trusted.
Trusted users are allowed to access the local system without
supplying a password. These files can be removed or modified to
enhance security. The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server is provided with
both of these files deleted entirely. The setting All_host.equiv_plus is
set to disabled, then anytime that security settings are applied, the +
will be removed from host.equiv. IMPORTANT NOTE: Removing the +
from the hosts.equiv file will prevent the use of the Xerox command
line client print from remote clients. An alternative would be to remove
the + and add the name of each trusted host that requires this
functionality. Leaving the + will allow a user from any remote host to
access the system with the same username

Executable Stacks

Some security exploits take advantage of the Solaris OE kernel
executable system stack to attack the system. Some of these exploits
can be avoided by making the system stack non-executable. The
following lines are added to /etc/system/fP file:set
noexec_user_stack=1set noexec_user_stack_log=1
