About This Guide

This manual introduces the basic concepts of system security on SUSE Linux Enterprise

Desktop. It covers extensive documentation about authentication mechanisms available

on Linux, such as NIS or LDAP. It also deals with aspects of local security like access

control lists, encryption and intrusion detection. In the network security part you learn

how to secure your computers with a rewall and masquerading and how to set up

virtual private networks (VPN). This manual also shows how to make use of the product

inherent security software like Novell AppArmor (which lets you specify per program

which les the program may read, write, and execute) or the auditing system that reliably

collects information about any security-relevant events.

Many chapters in this manual contain links to additional documentation resources. This

includes additional documentation that is available on the system as well as documen-

tation available on the Internet.
