Digital Equipment Corp systems management software house Raxco Inc, of Rockville, Maryland, has introduced Security Toolkit/Unix 2.1, a security assessment and management tool, for client-server environments. The tool kit, designed to be used by security administrators and auditors, automates systematic security checks across a network of Unix machines, Raxco says. To do this, Security Toolkit/Unix automatically collects security data from one or more servers on a network. It interprets the data and provides summary reports to the client running the program. Security assessments include checks on user passwords, file system, network set-up, end-user files and start-up parameters. It also vets the system for viruses. Security Toolkit/Unix 2.1 includes a last log-in check program, menu display options, a user defined error library, and a network topology map, which displays error by host. It supports OSF/Motif and Open Look graphical user interfaces and runs across TCP/IP, DECnet and Network File System protocols. Security Toolkit/Unix 2.1 is available for Digital Equipment Corp, Hewlett-Packard Co, Sun Microsystems Inc and IBM Corp workstations. The company says that Open Software Foundation OSF/1 and Microsoft Corp Windows NT support will be available by the end of the year. Security Toolkit/Unix 2.1 is priced from $250 to $10,000 depending upon the system used.
