Hi All,

Our site is currently undergoing numerous upgrades to security, physical,
software and procedural. In the process, we are trying to bring our
documentation and procedures up to date, and to that end I've been
looking about for any papers in related areas.

I'd be interested to know of any sources/ftp sites for any documentation
relating to the following topics/questions -

- unix security and procedures
- vms security and procedures
- pc/mac security wrt virii etc
- network security, esp modem access and session tracking
- (generic) password security, checking, education of importance, etc.

I mention the two unix/vms in the hope that there exists some specific
info relating to these environments. In many ways we perceive education of
our users of prime importance (esp in selecting passwords), hence the
reference there.

Unfortunately policies on PD/Freeware software prevent us from implementing
many of the systems that may apon failure preclude production availability
of computing resources, however suites that simply check for obvious
problems (like some password checkers Ive heard of) would not be a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'll summarize to the group if
appropriate !!

Please email any info to mayfield@itd.adelaide.edu.au
