NAME
     securesystem - improve system security

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/securesystem [ -l <loginName> [ -j java | javascript
     | both | none ][ -P | -L | -D ] ] [ -n yes ] [ -k yes|no ] [ -s yes|no ]
     [ -c yes|no ] [ -o yes|no ] [ -x yes|no ] [ -f yes|no ] [ -u yes ] [ -w
     yes|no ]

DESCRIPTION
     This command tries to improve the security of the system by modifying
     parameters that affect the security of the system. They include disable
     or enable Java and/or JavScript for user accounts, add password, lock or
     delete user accounts, remove NIS accounts, lock out an account if it has
     no password, use shadow password, turn off graphical login (clogin(1)),
     disable the use of privilege accounts on system adminitration tools (see
     PrivilegeManager(1M)), disable the display of windows of remote systems
     on the local system, turn off IP forwarding in the kernel, change UMASK
     to be readable and writable by owner only when a new file is created, and
     turn off outbox web server.

     Specifying the yes option improves the security of the system.  The no
     option reverse the process. There are a few things that this command
     cannot reverse, that is, it does not remove user account password,
     unlock, or add user accounts including the ones are deleted by the remove
     NIS account option. See the UserManager(1M) if you want to perform these
     functions. Another option that cannot be reversed is UMASK, it cannot be
     reset.

OPTIONS
     -l login  Specifies the name of the account to be modified. It is needed
               for the following options that deal with user accounts.

               prompt for the password on stdin.

     -k yes|no Yes means lock out account if it has no password and no means

     -s yes|no Yes means create shadow password and no means if /etc/showdow
               file exists, merge it back into /etc/passwd.
