A computer is as secure as its weakest point of entry. The following task map shows the areas that you should monitor and secure.

Task	Description	For Instructions
Monitor, permit, and deny user login	Monitors unusual login activity. Prevents logins temporarily. Manages dial-up logins.	Securing Logins and Passwords (Task Map)
Provide strong password encryption	Specifies algorithms to encrypt user passwords. Installs additional algorithms.	Changing the Password Algorithm (Task Map)
Monitor and restrict superuser activities	Regularly monitors superuser activity. Prevents remote login by a `root` user.	Monitoring and Restricting Superuser (Task Map)
Prevent access to hardware settings	Keeps ordinary users away from the PROM.	SPARC: Controlling Access to System Hardware (Task Map)
