secsetup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       secsetup(8)

Name
       secsetup - enable the enhanced security features

Syntax
       /usr/etc/sec/secsetup

Description
       The command is an interactive facility that allows you to enable the enhanced security features on your system.	You must first have loaded
       the enhanced security subset onto your system before running the command.

       The command allows you to configure your system either for security auditing, trusted path, enhanced login, or  any  combination  of  those
       features.  In addition, the command may add lines to the file.  To remove entries from the you must edit it by hand.  The command only adds
       lines to this file if they aren't already present.  You can run while the system is in multiuser mode (however,	some  inconsistencies  may
       result  from  this.   See the Security Guide for Administrators for more information).  To run type the following and then answer the ques-
       tions that follow:
       # /usr/etc/sec/secsetup
       Depending on the security features chosen, when completes you may need to replace your system's kernel and reboot the system.  For example,
       chosing either the security auditing or trusted path feature may require you to re-build your kernel.
