My thought on Unix System Security A Customer This book provides an outstanding and comprehensive reference of Unix security and I hightly recommend it.
Because the first sites outside of Bell Laboratories to install UNIX were university research laboratories, where a similar environment existed, no real need for greater security was seen until some time later.In the early 1980s, many universities began to move their UNIX systems out of the laboratories and into the computer centers, allowing (or forcing) the user population as a whole to use this new and wonderful system. Perhaps the most problematic features are those relating to networking: remote login, remote command execution, file transfer, network file systems, and electronic mail. Thanks to all of you, especially Matt Bishop, Dan Farmer, Phil Klimbal, Doug Moran, Donn Parker, Peter Neumann, and Jeff Schwab. Chapter 5 describes the Network Information Service (NIS) (formerly called Sun Yellow Pa

He has worked for the Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science, SRI International, and the Purdue University Engineering Computer
The book also gives comprehensive lists of freely available security software, and publications and mailing lists dealing with UNIX security. Curry has provided an essential text in security for both the beginning and experienced user." -Sys Admin 0201563274B04062001. Despite all the technical papers and workshops on UNIX security, this book is unique. Issues discussed include account and password security, securing the file system, encryption and authentication systems, TCP/IP network security, the Network Information Service (NIS), NFS, RFS, workstation security, terminals and modems, and UUCP. He then provides the information necessary to protect against these forms of attack, and offers the tools that can be used to do so.Focusing on the most recent release of Berkeley and System V UNIX, and such vendor derivatives as SunOS and ULTRIX, th
