UNIX system administrators and programmers--is your UNIX system secure enough to be able to withstand the many kinds of attacks that are launched against UNIX systems? To help you in your effort to achieve security in UNIX systems, the LBNL Computer Protection Program is sponsoring another full-day course on UNIX security. This course will cover the following important topics:

• Major types of security-related vulnerabilities
  
• Physical security
  
• File protection
  
• System and network protection
  
• Account security
  
• Logging
  
• Special security needs in different flavors of UNIX (Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX and RedHat Linux)
  
• Useful tools (ssh, sudo, tcpdump, Tripwire, Crack, Fix-Modes, etc.)

This course will be held in the 943-238 conference room at the Lab's Oakland Scientific Facility in downtown Oakland (right next to the 19th street BART station) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, January 22. The instructors will once again be Jim Mellander and Gene Schultz. There is no charge for attending, but space is strictly limited to 65 attendees (because of the size of the conference room and the overflow areas to which the course will be broadcasted). Registration is thus on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, send email to cp-seminar@lbl.gov and EJBautista@lbl.gov.
