Get Nate Sammons <nate@vis.colostate.edu>' 'rscan' (formerly
'securscan') from ftp://ftp.vis.colostate.edu/pub/rscan/ (and see its
documentation etc. at http://www.vis.colostate.edu/rscan/). It checks
for many bugs and problems, both specific to IRIX and generic to Unix.
Unfortunately, it has not been updated since April 1995 and will not
detect most holes discovered since then. You might also want to try a
generic Unix security-checking tool such as COPS, tiger or SATAN
and/or a password checker such as Crack. SGI's security page
referenced above gives their locations.
