Other ways to get "Improving the Security of Your UNIX System"

[davy at itstd.sri.com]

Due to the overwhelming demand (1000 FTP connections in 24 hours) for my
paper, "Improving the Security of Your UNIX System," I have made it
available via some other sources, listed below.

Thanks to the system administrators at these sites who've allowed me to
distribute the paper through their machines.

The SRI International white paper, "Improving the Security of Your UNIX
System," may be obtained via the following methods:

1. ANONYMOUS FTP
    The document is available via anonymous FTP from the following
    hosts:

	(West Coast)	Host: SPAM.ITSTD.SRI.COM
			Addr: 128.18.4.3
			File: pub/security-doc.tar.Z
	(West Coast)	Host: GATEKEEPER.DEC.COM
			Addr: 16.1.0.2
			File: pub/doc/sri-security-doc.tar.Z
	(East Coast)	Host: UUNET.UU.NET
			Addr: 192.48.96.2
			File: doc/security-doc.tar.Z
	(Midwest)	Host: TUT.CIS.OHIO-STATE.EDU
			Addr: 128.146.8.60
			File: pub/security/security-doc.tar.Z
	(MILNET)	Host: WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL
			Addr: 26.2.0.74
			File: pd2:<unix-c.info>security-doc.tar-z

[[Ed's Note: Also:      Host: TITAN.RICE.EDU
                        Addr: 128.42.1.30
                        File: sun-source/secdoc.shar.z.uu   -bdg]]

Transfer the file in "binary" mode from SPAM, TUT and UUNET, or "tenex"
mode from SIMTEL-20.  After you get the file, execute the commands:

   	% uncompress security-doc.tar.Z
	% tar xf security-doc
	% cd security-doc

[[Ed's Note: if you get it from Rice, uudecode, uncompress, sh. -bdg]]

    And now consult the README file.

2. UUCP
    UUNET subscribers can obtain the document via UUCP from UUNET using a
    command of the form

	uucp uunet!~/doc/security-doc.tar.Z destination-filename

    UUCP sites that are not UUNET subscribers will not be able to get it
    directly through them, but may be able to find another UUCP neighbor
    who has the file.

    ------
    You can obtain the file via "anonymous" UUCP from Ohio State University
    by placing the following line in your L.sys file:

	#
	# Direct Trailblazer
	#
	osu-cis Any ACU 19200 1-614-292-5112 in:--in:--in: Uanon
	#
	# Micom port selector, at 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps.
	# Replace ##'s below with 12, 24, or 96 (both speed and phone number).
	#
	osu-cis Any ACU ##00 1-614-292-31## "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon

    and then issue the command

	uucp osu-cis!~/security/security-doc.tar.Z destination-filename

3. BITNET
    BITNET users may obtain the document via the European TRICKLE servers
    from the UNIX-SW archives.  To do this, use the TELL command as follows:

	TELL TRICKLE AT SOMEHOST /PDGET <UNIX-SW.INFO>SECURITY-DOC.TAR-Z

    where SOMEHOST is one of:

	DKTC11		Denmark
	TREARN		Turkey
	IMIPOLI		Italy
	BANUFS11	Belgium
	AWIWUW11	Austria
	DB0FUB11	Germany
	EB0UB011	Spain

    There are no TRICKLE hosts in the U.S.; the Europeans are graciously
    allowing U.S. BITNET users to access their machines.  Please be kind
    to them.  Sorry, but the LISTSERV machines at RPIECS and NDSUVM do
    not provide access to the UNIX-SW repository.

    The file will arrive in BITSEND, NETDATA format.  You should use the
    BITRCV command from RDRList to get the file.  (I have no idea what
    this means -- go find an IBM guru if you don't know either.)

    This will be a BINARY file.  You won't be able to do much of anything
    with it on an IBM system.  Instead, transfer it to a UNIX system,
    and then uncompress it and extract the tar file, and then format
    things.  See above under "FTP" for how to do this.

4. ELECTRONIC MAIL

    The document may also be obtained from the SUN-SPOTS archive server
    located on host TITAN.RICE.EDU.  In order to request the document,
    send a note with the word

	help

    to "archive-server at rice.edu" (uunet!rice!archive-server).

    I don't, as of this writing, know what the path to the document
    will be, so you'll have to use the "index" command to hunt around
    for it.  It will probably live in the "sun-source" directory, so
    you may want to just send "index sun-source" instead of "help".

[[Ed's Note: Command is:
       send sun-source secdoc.shar.z.uu           -bdg]]

5. DECNET
    DECNET users can obtain the file by copying

    	DECWRL::"/pub/doc/sri-security-doc.tar.Z"

    by using the COPY command, or whatever.
