SMC Tools for Administering Computers and Networks

The SMC Trusted Solaris Configuration toolbox contains the following tools for configuring computers and networks and defining security attributes for computers, networks, and network interfaces:

• The Computers and Networks tool, which includes:

  • The Computers tool for adding new computers

  • The Add Network option for specifying netmasks

  • The Trusted Solaris Security Families tool for assigning security attributes to computers

• The Trusted Solaris Interface Manager tool for assigning security attributes to network interfaces (only needed if the default values are not appropriate)

  Note -

  The Interface Manager modifies the local /etc/security/tnidb file, and the tool displays only when the scope of the selected toolbox is Files.

The Computers and Networks and the Interface Manager tools are shown in the following figure.
