Encrypt traffic between Solaris 8 hosts
I have two Solaris 8 hosts that send data to one another throughout the day. It is a legacy system and the programs used are rdist, rcp and ftp. I have been asked to ensure that the data transferred is encrypted beween the two hosts.

My first thought was to replace these commands with ssh. However there are approximately 50 scripts and assorted programs that will need changing. Next I thought of the old Sun Skip program that will encrypt all traffic between the two hosts not matter what protocol is used. The problem with using Skip is that it is not supported on Solaris 9 or 10 so I do not have a long term solution.

Has anyone set up encryption between two Solaris hosts that encryts traffic no matter what the protocol?

Regards,

Hi,

hmm, which version of ftp are you using ? I know that some ftp clients can be configured to encrypt the traffic ... also vor rcp which can be configured for using ssh for encryption.

For rdist I am not sure ...

Cheers

Also you could consider using a secure tunnel between the machines for this and routing this fraffic through the tunnel.
