The only one I know of is in filesystem(5): /etc/security Basic Security Module (BSM) configuration files. The directory seems to predate the ARC. I agree with Scott that outside of /etc/security is a better idea. The file configures this service; it doesn't configure system security. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
