Lab Course on UNIX and Linux Security to Be Given on June 25
 
UNIX and Linux system administrators -- are your systems secure? Are you aware that the LBNL RPM requires you to take security training once a year? To help you in your effort to secure your UNIX and Linux systems, the LBNL Computer Protection Program is sponsoring another full-day course on UNIX security. This course will cover the following 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 Bldg. 66 auditorium from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25. The instructors will once again be Jim Mellander and Gene Schultz. There is no charge for attending, but space is limited. Enrollment is on a first-come, first served basis. To register, go to the Employee Self-Service Web page and log in using your LDAP user name and password (the one used for logging into the Lab's central email system). Choose the "Training Enrollment" option from the list on the left, then check Computer Security.
