Should the information in the Evaluated Configuration Guide contradict other security
manuals, then the Evaluated Configuration Guide takes predecence.

The certification-sles-ibm-eal4 package contains configuration files, scripts and
documentation for the Common Criteria evaluation of the SUSE LINUX Enterprise
Server on IBM hardware according to Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4).

The script /usr/lib/eal4/bin/sles-eal4 can be used to configure the system to
be conformant with the certification requirements after the initial install.

Please note that the 'sles-eal4' script is *not* a general-purpose hardening
tool, and running it with any command-line argument other than '-h' is likely
to change your system in ways you may not want. It is *only* intended to be
used to set up the evaluated configuration as documented in the Evaluated
Configuration Guide, there you will also find information on what it does and
how it is intended to be used.

The certification-sles-ibm-eal4 RPM file can be found on the SUSE maintenance web
server at http://portal.suse.com/ using your registration keys.
