Controlling Access to Files (Tasks)

This chapter describes how to protect files in Oracle Solaris. The chapter also describes how to protect the system from files whose permissions could compromise the system.


Note - To protect ZFS files with access control lists (ACLs), see Chapter 8, Using ACLs and Attributes to Protect Oracle Solaris ZFS Files, in Oracle Solaris Administration: ZFS File Systems.
