I'm a bit behind in announcing these two BluePrints as they were made
available on Jan 21st. Will keep this announcement brief:

Securing Sun Fire 15k Domains: This article provides recommendations on
how to securely deploy Sun Fire 15k (aka StarCat) domains. These
recommendations apply to environments concerned with security and
particularly those where the uptime requirements of the domains and/or
the information on the domains is critical to the organization. The
configuration documented in this article is supported by Sun. Available
here:

Configuring OpenSSH for the Solaris Operating Environment: The network
environment was never safe. As more users connect to open networks for
remote access, the risks of compromising systems and accounts increase.
Secure network tools such as OpenSSH counter the threats of password
theft, session hijacking, and other network attacks. These tools require
planning, configuration, and integration. This article deals with server
and client configurations, key management, and integration into existing
environments for the Solaris[tm] Operating Environment (OE). Available

Many thanks for Jason M Reid and Dina (Kurktchi) Nimeh for making these
articles possible.
