Checklist Summary:

This document provides recommendations for securing Solaris operating systems. This benchmark document covers Solaris version 10 for both servers and desktops. Desktop systems typically have different security expectations than server-class systems. In an effort to facilitate use of this benchmark on these different classes of machines, shaded text has been used to indicate questions and/or actions that are typically not applicable to desktop systems in a large enterprise environment. These shaded items may be skipped on these desktop platforms.
