Table 1-1 Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 Additions to Trusted Solaris 8 Software
Area of Change |
Description of Change |
---|---|
Sun BladeTM hardware |
The Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release runs on the Sun Blade 100 and 1000 hardware. |
SMC Auditing |
The Solaris Management Console GUI is now fully audited. |
SMC Rights Manager |
Supports copy and paste of security attributes of commands and actions. |
SMC Computer and Networks tool |
Supports a Default setting for the label and clearance in a security family template definition. When the Default button is selected, the label and clearance values of the interface are applied to unlabeled packets since these values are not provided in a template. |
SMC Toolbox files |
Toolbox files (*.tbx) require the <Scope> tag in addition to the <URL> tag within the <ToolBoxURL> tag. The <Scope> tag indicates which scope the sub-toolbox will use, and its value must match the value specified in the <Scope> tag of the respective sub-toolbox. A freshly installed Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 system will already have the <Scope> tag implemented. Upgrading a system from the Trusted Solaris 8 release to the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release requires the administrator to manually modify the /var/sadm/smc/toolbox/tsol_smc/tsol_smc.tbx toolbox to add the <Scope> tag for each <ToolBoxURL> tag in the file. Similarly, users are required to modify any toolboxes created in any location other than the default SMC toolbox location. |
Smart Card technology |
The Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release supports Smart Card technology on Sun Blade hardware. |
Man Pages |
References to information labels (ILs) have been removed from all man pages except the label_encodings(4) man page. Man pages specific to ILs have been removed. The allocate(1), deallocate.1, and list_devices.1 man pages have been moved from Section 1m to Section 1. The mkdevdb(1) man page describes the device allocation interfaces. The streams man pages (tsol_put*ctl*.9f) have been removed. Trusted Solaris differences are handled in the Solaris versions (put*ctl*.9f) of the man pages. |
NIS+ actions |
Actions to handle NIS+ groups have been added to the System_Admin folder. |
Upgrade |
Upgrade is supported from Trusted Solaris 8 to Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 only. |
