Choosing an Operating Environment

• An Operating Environment is a collection of software, tested & licensed together as a unit


• Each Operating Environment contains:
− “Required” components, which must be installed
− “Recommended” components, which are selected by default, but can be deselected
− “Optional” components, which must be manually selected
• Only one OE can be installed on a machine

Choosing an Install-Time Security Bundle

During the HP-UX install process, it is now possible to select an install-time security
bundle, which uses HP Bastille to automatically lock down a variety of vulnerable network
services

Bundle Name Config File Effect on System Behavior


Sec00Tools N/A Install security infrastructure without applying
security
Sec10Host HOST.config Host-based lockdown: no firewall; telnet and FTP
remain enabled, but less common network
services are disabled in /etc/inetd.conf.
Sec20MngDMZ MANDMZ.config Lockdown: IPFilter firewall blocks all incoming
connections except common, secured,
management protocols
Sec30DMZ DMZ.config Full lockdown: IPFilter blocks all incoming
connections except HP-UX Secure Shell
