updated to the newer version. Any security patch that is
determined to have a negative impact to Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server operation will not be added.
Customer Responsibilities
The administrator has the primary responsibility for maintaining
the security of the network within the customer's site. It is
important that network security is continuously monitored and
maintained, and that appropriate security policies are established
and followed.
The procedures outlined in this document assume a basic
knowledge of UNIX, the vi editor, and general computing
concepts. It is expected that the network administrator or system
administrator responsible for network security understands the
base commands (cd, chmod, cp, grep, kill, ln, ls, man, more, ps,
etc.), and the UNIX directory path and filename structures shown
in this document.
There is information within the text and in the appendix sections
for reference to those who may not use UNIX often.
The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server operates on a Solaris OS.
Enhancements have been made to increase security over the
default OS configuration. Additional Solaris patches required by
the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server are included as well. Several
scripts are used to provide additional security for the Print Server.
Not all scripts are public knowledge, only those that are public are
defined in this document and these can be performed by the
customer.
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server engineering will evaluate the latest
Sun Security Alert Packs issued by Sun Microsystems and
integrate these patches into the Print Server releases. Local
customer support will be responsible for loading the latest Print
Server software.
Xerox strongly recommends that the customer change passwords
from the default settings since the ultimate security of the printing
system resides with the customer.
NOTE: Please be aware that the Xerox Customer Support
Personnel must have access to the new root password for service
and support. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the
root password is available for them.
