AIX Operating System Hardening Procedures & Security Guide
Some security packages address the problem by stripping all (or nearly all) network services and then instruct you to be careful about what you add to the system. That's a great approach but requires that you "get your hands on" the system before anyone laye rs anything onto it and you understand what you're adding to the system when you add it back in. These are two conditions that do not apply at many sites.\xa0 The approach here is different. We will consider services offered by the AIX 5.1 operating system, try to explain what each does, note the risks involved with each and make recommendations about what one ought to do to mitigate the risk.

| telnet to AIX resolv.conf issue | 2005 09 | ||||
| - We have an AIX machine with DNS entries at resolv.conf. I just found out that using telnet to access AIX, the AIX machine tries to resolve the IP add of the connecting client. In case you dn't have entries in your DNS server, the telnet prompts take too long to appear. - | |||||

| AIX Survival Guide | 2002 01 | ||||
| - Most reviewers have spoken very highly of this book. I hate to be the wet blanket, but I didn't think it was quite that good. It's not a bad book, at all. I have to learn a bit about AIX for one of my clients, and I will say that this certainly gives me a head start on the curve. But I just had some bad feelings about some of the more general advice given (like the author's habit of adding SCSI devices on a running system or shutting down by simply "sync;sync" and powering off) to make me feel a little uncomfortable about the whole book. - | |||||
| transferring passwd file from aix to sco | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - If you look at the man for ap you can get some hints. That's normally used for migrating from one SCO system to another - but I can envision that some creative editing on the file it generates might just do the trick. - | |||||
