5<para>Security takes many forms in a computing environment. This chapter
6gives examples of three different types of security; access, prevention
7and detection. Access for users is usually handled by
8<command>login</command> or an application designed to handle the login
9function. In this chapter, we show how to enhance
10<command>login</command> by setting policies with
11<application><acronym>PAM</acronym></application> modules. Access via networks
12can also be secured by policies set by
13<application>iptables</application>. Prevention of breaches, like
14trojans, are assisted by applications like <application>gnupg</application>,
15specifically the ability to confirm signed packages, which prevents
16modification of the tarball after the packager creates it. Finally, we touch on
17detection with a package that stores "signatures" and then regenerates those
18"signatures" and compares for files that have been changed.</para>
