Last time, I talked about trimming the fat off Solaris systems to make them lean, mean security machines. To do that, you can enlist the aid of several programs such as TITAN, and YASSP, to send your systems to the Security Fat Farm. But what if you wanted to do it yourself? Where do you start on hardening your systems to make them more secure? In this tip we'll explore do-it-yourself Solaris security. >> For the complete tip, CLICK: http://www.searchSolaris.com/tip/1,289483,sid12_gci843059,00.html To experience our complete library of Solaris Security Tips, CLICK: http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/tipsIndex/0,289482,sid12_tax286832_alpD_idx0,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | The bot who loved me The newest twist on Internet romance is sort of like that annoying tactic used by sassy sixth-grade girls everywhere. It goes something like this: "I know someone who likes you...but I can't tell you who it is.'' Some wildly popular Web sites such as eCrush and SecretAdmirer provide anonymous notification of crushes worldwide. Beware of this flattering e-mail, though. Two sites, SomeoneLikesYou and Crushlink, have been accused of spamming singles with e-mails from fabulous people who don't exist. A consumer group in California is considering a lawsuit against Crushlink for raising the hopes of so many lonely hearts.
