- AIXers,
-
- I need to have my RS6000/520h filter all tcp/ip packets (be that ftp,
- login, telnet, whatever ...) to provide a 100% secure system inside a busy
- network. I could always build new versions of inetd, rlogin et al. but for
- obvious reasons (don't want to be held responsible for bug reports, software
- maintenance et al. ;-) I'd rather do it in an official way. There are a couple of
- host and user combinations which require access, and absolutely NOONE else.
-
- In HP-UX (secure tcp/ip option) you can specify specific internet addresses/
- or subnets which may or may not make use of services via the inetd.sec file
- Is such an option available in AIX 3.2.0???
-
- It'll save me a lot of heartache (not to mention money if I have to buy a router/
- gateway just to make this machine secure).
-
- All suggestions considered ... thanks.
-
- --Rob.
