Dear AIX'ers: I have recently finished a beta-release of a UNIX security system. Written in Bourne shell, generic shell commands (awk, sed, etc.) and a small amount of C, the system checks for a wide variety of problems that can occur on almost any UNIX system on a fairly regular basis, usually through carelessness, malice, or ignorance. I hope to post the system soon(?), but I would like to get someone who is running aix to give it a try. Sorry, I will only mail it out to the first 5 or so people who respond. And only, I repeat only, if you will quickly mail to me a response -- say within a week or two at most -- to how it worked on your system, and only if you will not distribute it further without my permission. If you don't want to abide by my conditions, you'll just have to wait for the posting; I want to post the package as soon as possible, and I want to make sure it runs on as many wild systems (such as AIX :-) as possible... I'm not asking for a blow by blow description of what it might discover, but I do need fast input on any problems that it might have running. I have about a hundred other beta testers, none of which have admitted to using AIX. So if you want to further truth, justice, the american way, and the destruction of ignorance about security, mail fast to: dan farmer df@medusa.cs.purdue.edu (oh yeah, if you would include the type of machine you use, I'd like to know that, too...) thanks, (sorry to those above #5) -- dan df@medusa.cs.purdue.edu
