Duggan, D. P.

There seems to be little real help for the new system administrator of a UNIX system with regards to system security. This is especially true if the person is coming from a different operating system. To help the administrator to learn the security features on the system, and some possible security holes, there needs to be a set of tools that can be used to audit the system and teach the administrator, or user, where some problems might be. A set of tools designed for this purpose is described within. 11 refs.
