Before Installing The Kerberos Server
Before you install the Server, it is recommended that you:
• Ensure that the Kerberos Server is installed on a system that is
physically secure and has restricted access to it. If necessary,
ascertain that the system, on which you install the Server, is kept
under lock and key.
• Disable all the network services, such as ftp, telnet, rlogin,
finger et all, by restricting access to the machine. You can do this,
by changing the /etc/inetd.conf file to deactivate the
non-kerberized services. The inetd daemon must be restarted after
these changes have been made.
• Also, ensure that the file system is protected with proper permissions
in order to restrict the non-root users from accessing and
manipulating the Kerberos Server maintained files, such as cache
files, stash files et all.
• Ensure that you have the HP-UX 11i installed on your system. You
can check the version of the HP-UX operating system by using the
uname -r command.
The following pages of this chapter describe the minimum software and
hardware requirements that you would need before you install the
Kerberos Server (T1417AA) software.
