Security Related Stuff for A/UX

This file contains the most recent listing of available files in the ~ftp/pub/aux/security direction, as well as a short listing of each. Some are GNUzipped (.gz) tar files.

File Descriptions: This here file :)
Better Permissions: A little 'ksh' script that changes the owners, groups and permission of some files to what's recommended in the FAQ to make them (and your system) a bit more secure
Latest replacement version of inetd: BSD/Reno version of 'inetd' ported for A/UX 3.x.x. Includes some very nice features such as running daemons as any user, passing arguments to daemons and rereading of /etc/servers upon receiving a SIGHUP signal. Newer version will also try to read inetd.conf if servers doesn't exist and provides host access control a.la. tcpd (tcp_wrappers). Ported|maintained by Jim Jagielski.
md5 for A/UX: Port of 'md5' for A/UX. md5 generates a "message-digest" fingerprint (checksum) of a file. This fingerprint is much more secure than regular checksums since it's virtually impossible for 2 different "messages" to have the same finger- print or to generate a message to have a predetermined one.
portmapper: Replacement of /etc/portmap for A/UX 3.1(.1). Secure version uses tcp_wrapper access control. Port of Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl) portmapper 4.
NEW sh for A/UX: Replacement for /bin/sh that fixes a few security holes, in SUID programs that use 'system()' or 'popen()', by resetting IFS before a script is executed. ** A MUST HAVE !! **
ssh for A/UX: Port of ssh-1.2.17 for A/UX. ssh is a secure replacement for the rsh/rlogin/rcp family (and more!)
SUDO utility: Source for the famous 'sudo' utility that allows other users to perform 'root' functions while limiting what they can do.
tcp_wrappers: Port of Wietse Venema (wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl) tcp_wrappers for A/UX 3.1(.1)

"If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man
 and then compare the relative brain size, we now find that the penguin's
 brain is still smaller. But, and this is the point, it is larger than it WAS!"
