Hi,
Is there a way to secure my system my ip-filtering or MAC filtering?

Thanks,
John

One can probably use `Bastille` from HPUX-11i
onwards for this.

I forgot to mention that my hp-ux systems are combinations of 10.20 & 11.00 versions.

Thanks,
John

Yes it can do it

Use IPFILTER software :)

IPFilter is bundled with 11.11, but an add on for 11.0. I presume you know 10.20 is unsupported, and if you are concerned about security, since it is no longer being patched, you should move off of it.

IP Filter for 10.20 is not available from HP or the Liverpool archive. You'll have to find the source code and get an ANSI C compiler to build the programs. Yet another reason to move off 10.20 (and 11.00) as soon as possible.

Sure, You could use IPFilter product on HP-UX for
securing your system. See manpages for
ipf(5) and ipf(8). IPFilter blocks/passes traffic
depending on IP address/port # etc (no MAC
based filtering).

If you can give more details on what exactly you
want to do, I could try to help you on that.
