Archive-name: security/unix/security-doc/1990-12-04 Archive: uunet.uu.net:/doc/security-doc.tar.Z [192.48.96.2] Original-posting-by: Wayne Little <rwl@ee.umr.edu> Original-subject: SUMMARY: *UNIX Site Security Guideline Document (Availability) Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) Two weeks back I posted a note about being unable to reach syn-gate.synoptics.com on the net in order to get the document "Improving the Security of Your UNIX System." Here's the summary. I am still unable to reach that site, and several other people had the same difficulty; Robert Enger even sent me a traceroute listing showing a black hole after Synoptics gateway to Barrnet (still there BTW). I mainly got requests for the document and for the information, but one kind person did send me a site which I got the file from; however I somehow lost that mail which is why I couldn't reply promptly (no answer)- my apologies! Fortunately a general solution to finding almost any public domain software on the internet came through an unrelated posting on Nov 26 from bajan@opus.cs.mcgill.ca, entitled: "How to find you PD programs (archie)" [ RE: you (sic)]. The following information is abridged from what I just got by telnetting to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca (132.206.2.3 or 132.206.51.1), logging in as "archie", which runs an arhive server program and typing "prog security-doc". (There is doc on-line as you login also.) File security-doc.tar.Z (size is 175811 bites) is available from the following anonymous ftp sites (I shortened the list to just a few from each domain): Host VGR.BRL.MIL (192.5.23.6) Location: arch Host uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU (128.143.2.7) Location: pub Host athos.rutgers.edu (128.6.4.4) Location: pub Host chx400.switch.ch (130.59.1.2) Location: div Host CLOUSO.CRIM.CA (192.26.210.1) Location: risq/securite Host cs.ubc.ca (137.82.8.5) Location: uug Host csab.larc.nasa.gov (128.155.26.10) Host ditmela.mel.dit.CSIRO.AU (128.250.90.81) Location: doc Host eru.mt.luth.se (130.240.0.9) Location: pub Host faui43.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (131.188.1.43) Location: portal/doc/misc Host freja.diku.dk (129.142.96.1) Location: doc Host hp4nl.nluug.nl (192.16.202.2) Location: pub/security Host ICARUS.RIACS.EDU (134.12.1.1) Location: pub Host lut.fi (128.214.25.8) Location: unix/security Host RELAY.CDNNET.CA (192.73.5.1) Location: uug Host sol.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.5) Location: pub/DOC Host SPARKYFS.ERG.SRI.COM (128.18.4.39) Location: pub Host SUNIC.SUNET.SE (192.36.125.2) Location: pub Host surya.waterloo.edu (129.97.129.72) Location: doc/security Host UUNET.UU.NET (192.48.96.2) Location: doc Host wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) Location: mirrors/unix-c/info Thanks to: Jeremy Frank jeremy@jarthur.Claremont.edu "Robert M.
