For Solaris 7 and Solaris 8, one of the basic security hardening steps
is to put the following two lines into /etc/system to make the stack
non-executable:
set noexec_user_stack=1
set noexec_user_stack_log=1
I am wondering if these /etc/system commands will work with an older OS
(Solaris 2.6) or with a newer OS (Solaris 9). If anyone can confirm that
these do what they should do and don't cause the server to die a painful
death when added, I would be much appreciative.
TIA, and I will summarize.
