Re: Trusted OS...

Jean -

Sun's firewall, SunScreen 3.1,  will run on Trusted Solaris 7.
SunScreen 3.1 is slated for release in early Summer 2000.

SunScreen 3.1, installed in stealth mode, also has optional
OS hardening.

I work for Sun on this product, so if you have further questions,
or want more details, drop me a private email.
