Hardening your Kernel with OpenWall
I read about this in Hardening Linux by James Turnbull. The patch that most interested me was to prevent executable code from running in the stack. That won't prevent all buffer overflow attacks, but it can stop some of them.
Understanding PAM
PAM is the Pluggable Authentication Module, invented by Sun. It's a beautiful concept, but it can be confusing and even intimidating at first.
Troubleshooting: Preserve the scene
You've seen it on television or in the movies: important evidence is lost at a crime scene because someone wasn't careful enough to preserve it.

Hardening or Tightening Unix/Linux Operating Systems
The Bastille Hardening System attempts to "harden" or "tighten" Unix operating systems. It currently supports the Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake, SuSE and TurboLinux Linux distributions along with HP-UX and Apple OS X. We attempt to provide the most secure, yet usable, system possible. The project was initially formed by Jon Lasser and is led by Jay Beale, Lead Developer. It involves a number of developers, beta-testers and concept-creators, including employees of Hewlett Packard who have extended Bastille to HP-UX and shipped it with the latest versions of that operating system.

Viruses Lurk in Unix Systems
Computer viruses designed to execute in the Microsoft environment often lurk in Unix-based systems where they lie dormant until a Microsoft device, such as a laptop, activates them, says Sophos product manager Clive Wainstein.
Speaking to ITWeb following a presentation to Netxactics clients in Cape Town, Wainstein said there is a common misperception that viruses and worms, which have become a plague of the IT world, do not affect Unix systems.

Sun sets a poor example for UNIX culture
Sun's BigAdmin Newsletter is a vehicle to promote Sun products, focus on the benefits of Solaris and UNIX in general, and brand Sun as an OpenSource player. The Techie Toolbox should provide clever examples of problem solving using all these paradigms. I was quite disapointed when I read their example script to run a command on the last Sunday of a month.
Their code is at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/ submittedScripts/last_sunday.txt, which is about 67 lines of complex code. It does not run anything, ever, it doesn't do leap years correcly, but it does display an astonishing level of complexity.

NetBSD Unix Supports Xen Virtualization
While everybody seemed to get interested in the open source Xen virtual machine partitioning hypervisor just when XenSource incorporated and made its plans clear for the Linux platform, the NetBSD variant of the BSD Unix platform has been Xen-compatible for over a year now, and will be as fully embracing the technology as Linux is expected to.
Xen has really taken off since last December, when the leaders of the Xen project formed a corporation to sell and support Xen and they immediately secured $6 million from venture capitalists Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sevin Rosen Funds. Xen is headed up by Ian Pratt, a senior faculty member at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, who is the chief technology officer at XenSource, the company that has been created to commercialize Xen. Pratt told me in December that he had basically been told to start a company to support Xen because some big financial institutions on Wall Street and in the City (that's London's version of Wall Street for the Americans reading this who may not have heard the term) insisted that he do so because they loved what Xen was doing.

Enterprise Unix Roundup: This Is Your BrainShare on Linux
For those who harbored any doubt as to whether Novell is now a Linux player to be reckoned with, this week's BrainShare conference should dispel it. In the past, BrainShare was the place to discuss the latest and greatest in the Novell software stable. Now, with NetWare morphing from operating system to management suite, Brainshare is becoming a LinuxWorld southwest of sorts.
At its core, BrainShare is a chance for Novell's partners to strut their stuff. While no ground-breaking announcements came from the show floor, the sheer increase in vendor volume is indicative of the community's acceptance of Novell's transition to full-fledged Linux player.
