    Hello

    I am looking to upgrade my Solaris box from 9 to 10. I have yet to find
    a comprehensive "Hardening" white paper on the subject. All kinds for 8,
    9 but none for comprehensive 10. I have the BigAdmin portal page and the
    numerous docs on containers/zones in Solaris 10 and was wondering if
    anyone knew of a good document out there to act as a starting point fro
    Solaris 10 Hardening. The box is used as an NIDS and a squid proxy that
    sits behind a hardware based firewall. Running it on x86 and not sparc
    code.

    Any suggestions or ideas are most appreciated.

    Thanks
