IP Filtering with HP UX 11.x

[Sheldon Dubrowin]

I have several HP UX boxes running 11.x, and I would like some package that I either have on the machine or that I can install on the machine to filter IP Address and Port to help me harden the machine. I'm looking for something similar to IP Filter or IP Chains. There is an alpha version of IP Filter for HP UX, but I refuse to run alpha code on production machines. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Shel

You can modify the inetd.sec file to limit what hosts have access to what services on your boxes. See the man page on inetd.sec for details.

/var/adm/inetd.sec controls access to programs run by the inetd. I am not aware of any way to control access to other services by IP address. If IPfilter or IPchains work, please let me know!
(or if there is another way...)

Thanks,

Jim
