Establish a Secure Baseline – Make sure that application/print/rfc1179:default is only limited to local connections

Details

To set this item you will need to utilize inetadm, otherwise it does not exist by default on a Solaris system. Example: “inetadm -m svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default bind_addr=localhost”

Solution

To establish a hardened OS baseline as recommended by Oracle, run the netservices (1M) command as follows-
netservices limited

Note – At present, there is a known bug that prevents webconsole from refreshing after ‘netservices limited’ is run-
6555726 svc:/system/webconsole SMF service doesn’t have a refresh method
Until a patch is available, this bug requires that an extra step be performed to restart the webconsole as follows-
svcadm restart svc:/system/webconsole:console
