Yes there is, while the URLs I mention below are out of date with respect to the OS versions it mentions the techniques still apply: ----- Updated Solaris Operating Environment Minimization for Security: A Simple, Reproducible and Secure Application Installation Methodolgy Updated for Solaris 8 Operating Environment -by Alex Noordergraaf http://www.sun.com/blueprints/1100/minimize-updt1.pdf ----- ----- Solaris Operating Environment Minimization for Security: A Simple, Reproducible and Secure Application Installation Methodology -by Keith Watson and Alex Noordergraaf Discuss OS minimization as a technique for reducing system vulnerabilities; a simple method for duplicating these installations on large numbers of servers is also introduced. http://www.sun.com/blueprints/1299/minimization.pdf ----- There have been updates to this for Solaris 9 and 10 but they weren't published as blueprints with "Minimization" in their titles. There has also been a lot of work done by 3rd Parties that Sun Security Ambassadors and Solaris Security group have endorsed and participated in. -- Darren J Moffat
