updated to the newer version. Any security patch that is 
determined to have a negative impact to Xerox FreeFlow Print 
Server operation will not be added.
Customer Responsibilities
The administrator has the primary responsibility for maintaining 
the security of the network within the customer's site. It is 
important that network security is continuously monitored and 
maintained, and that appropriate security policies are established 
and followed.
The procedures outlined in this document assume a basic 
knowledge of UNIX, the vi editor, and general computing 
concepts. It is expected that the network administrator or system 
administrator responsible for network security understands the 
base commands (cd, chmod, cp, grep, kill, ln, ls, man, more, ps, 
etc.), and the UNIX directory path and filename structures shown 
in this document.
There is information within the text and in the appendix sections 
for reference to those who may not use UNIX   often. 
The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server operates on a Solaris OS. 
Enhancements have been made to increase security over the 
default OS configuration. Additional Solaris patches required by 
the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server are included as well. Several 
scripts are used to provide additional security for the Print Server. 
Not all scripts are public knowledge, only those that are public are 
defined in this document and these can be performed by the 
customer.
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server engineering will evaluate the latest 
Sun Security Alert Packs issued by Sun Microsystems and 
integrate these patches into the Print Server releases. Local 
customer support will be responsible for loading the latest Print 
Server software.
Xerox strongly recommends that the customer change passwords 
from the default settings since the ultimate security of the printing 
system resides with the customer.
NOTE: Please be aware that the Xerox Customer Support 
Personnel must have access to the new root password for service 
and support. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the 
root password is available for them.
