User Guide and Manual for Project Canary

There are four reports on various configuration matters Project Canary software monitors for and collects data
about which can be brought up from the Configuration Report page.
• etc System: This report examines the kernel parameters on the server Project Canary software is
reporting on found in the server's /etc/system file and compares it against Sun IT Operations
Standards.
• Automount System: This report primarily looks for the “nobrowse” option set in the server's
/etc/auto_master on servers for the /home mount point.
• GNOME Settings: This report compares a Sun Ray server's GNOME settings against standards
coded into the Project Canary software. In particular, it checks the default “background image” size
against the standard.
• Crypto: This report checks to make sure that the appropriate Crypto settings for Sun Ray software
are correctly set in both the uplink and downlink directions.
These reports are useful when planning and executing a Standards Audit to ensure compliance with IT
standards. The settings checked for are coded within the Project Canary server software. Management can
quickly scan these reports to determine which Sun Ray servers are running “according to standard” and which
are not. The next page(s) show examples of the reports available from this submenu:
