<title>Security</title>
<para>Security takes many forms in a computing environment. After some
initial discussion, this chapter
gives examples of three different types of security: access, prevention
and detection.</para>
<para>Access for users is usually handled by <command>login</command> or an
application designed to handle the login function. In this chapter, we show
how to enhance <command>login</command> by setting policies with
<application>PAM</application> modules. Access via networks
can also be secured by policies set by <application>iptables</application>,
commonly referred to as a firewall. The Network Security Services (NSS) and
Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) libraries can be installed and shared among
the many applications requiring them. For applications that don't offer the
best security, you can use the <application>Stunnel</application> package to
wrap an application daemon inside an SSL tunnel.</para>
<para>Prevention of breaches, like a trojan, are assisted by applications like
<application>GnuPG</application>, specifically the ability to confirm signed
packages, which recognizes modifications of the tarball
after the packager creates it.</para>
<para> Finally, we touch on detection with a package that stores "signatures"
of critical files (defined by the administrator) and then regenerates those
"signatures" and compares for files that have been changed.</para>
