Description

Lockdown the CDE on Aix and Solaris buy restricting permissions and altering banner messages

Setup

What cde_lockdown affects

  • Set inactivity timeouts for CDE by writing files to /etc/dt/config for each locale in the /usr/dt/config directory
  • Ensure files under /etc/dt have correct permissions
  • Alter the default banner messages to prevent information disclosure
  • Disable remote logins
  • Remove SUID/SGID from CDE binaries
  • Lock down /etc/dt/confg/Xservers if it exists

Usage

General permissions and banner messages

class { "cde_lockdown":
  banner_title   => "Authorised users only",
  banner_message => "Get off my lawn",
}

Prevent remote logins

include cde_lockdown::remote

Remove SUID

include cde_lockdown::suid

Explicit Xserver in Xconfig

include cde_lockdown::xservers

Suggested overall system usage

class { "cde_lockdown":
  banner_title   => "Authorised users only",
  banner_message => "Get off my lawn",
}
include cde_lockdown::suid
include cde_lockdown::remote
include cde_lockdown::xservers

This will lock-down CDE to the extent possible using this module. Users are free to pick and choose classes to suit their needs.
