IRIX: Look in ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/Security/ and at
http://www.sgi.com/support/security/index.html for SGI security
advisories and patches. SGI also runs a mailing list called
"wiretap" for dissemination of IRIX security advisories from SGI;
its subscription address is <wiretap-request@sgi.com>. An article in
the Jul/Aug 1994 Pipeline discusses general Unix security with some
IRIX-specific aspects.
Unix in general: Look in ftp://ftp.cert.org/,
ftp://ciac.llnl.gov/pub/ciac/ and http://www.8lgm.org/ for CERT, CIAC
and 8lgm material (respectively) and general security information and
tools. If you have a lot of spare time, consider the
comp.security.unix newsgroup and/or the bugtraq mailing list
(listproc@netspace.org, archived at http://www.securityfocus.com/)
