Oracle/Security
Let me begin this thread by qualifying...this thread pertains to OS security and network security; hence, I placed it under "HP-UX General."
I'm looking for your experiences with Oracle 9i RAC (DB) and 11ias (apps). We are new to Oracle, and I'm trying to install this software as securely as possible. Problem is, Oracle seems to require access to "r-commands" (rcp, remsh, etc.) and NFS to run properly. I would prefer to use scp and ssh, and eliminate NFS. These are obviously unsecure services.
I know this is not an easy question to answer due to limited forum space, but I'm looking for your experiences and possibly a "best practices" approach.
How can Oracle call itself "unbreakable" when it requires such backend services to be running?
Thanks in advance....

Re: Oracle/Security
I'm not sure about this, but i have not seen any oracle requirement saying that rcp/remsh must be allowed. Also NFS server is not a prerequisite. It is required if you want to mount the oracle installation CD using pfs_mount. There is a workaround for pfs_mount (you can use the regulat mount command / need some patches for rock-ridge support)
Most of our system running oracle databases have "r" commands disabled and no NFS enabled. We enable NFS client on as and when basis.
Hope this helps.

Re: Oracle/Security
Perhaps that explains the NFS requirement. We are currently installing the software. And when the installs are complete, maybe we can go back and turn things off.

Re: Oracle/Security
For future purpose, add these patches to your system for mount command to support rock-ridge extention,
for 11.11
1.) PHCO_25841 -> s700_800 11.11 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)
2.) PHKL_26269 -> s700_800 11.11 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
3.) PHKL_32035 -> s700_800 11.11 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
Here is a product from hp to secure / lockdown your system from security point of view,

Re: Oracle/Security
You need X to install these products.
I'm attaching a cd mount script that works for oracle that will eliminate the need for pfs_mount.
It works for all oracle Rock ridge cd's.
