  IRIX: Look in ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/Security/ for SGI security
  advisories and patches.
  http://www.sgi.com/Products/WebFORCE/Security.html lists that and
  some other security resources. An article in the Jul/Aug 1994
  Pipeline discusses general Unix security with some IRIX-specific
  aspects.

  Unix in general: Read
  ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/security-faq and the books
  and papers listed therein for general discussions of Unix security.
  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.  8lgm advisories may also
  be obtained by mail by saying 'echo help | mail
  8lgm-fileserver@bagpuss.demon.co.uk'.  If you have a lot of spare
  time, consider the comp.security.unix newsgroup and/or the bugtraq
  mailing list (bugtraq-request@fc.net, archived at
  http://www.eecs.nwu.edu/~jmyers/bugtraq/).
