System Security Configuration Settings

The system administrator sets system variables in the /etc/security file to configure the system to handle certain security attributes at a site. Chapter 2, Getting Started describes the programming interface for accessing Trusted Solaris system security variables that do the following:

• Enable privilege debugging for testing a privileged application. When privilege debugging is on, an application succeeds even when it does not have all the privileges it needs and the missing privileges are printed to the command line and to a file for your information. See Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures or "Privilege Debugging" for information on enabling and using privilege debugging.

• Hide file names of files that have had their sensitivity labels upgraded by a privileged processes.
