Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Recommendations for the Trusted Solaris Environment

On all systems, for audit records...

-- Create at least one audit partition named /etc/security/audit/system_name.

On a system that will run the Solaris Management Console to administer the site...

-- Provide at least 256 MBytes of memory. Provide swap space. Install the Developer or Entire cluster. Do not install the End User cluster.

On all systems, for users who can assume a role...

-- Create sufficient swap space. Swap space that is double the size of the system's memory is a good rule of thumb.

On a system that will be the home directory server...

-- Create an /export/home partition large enough for the users' home directories.

On a system that will not be a home directory server...

-- Create a small /export partition to hold some temporary configuration files. It also serves as a mount point.
