3.2.3. Security Management Services.
The Security Management Services functional element is used by the security
administrator to enforce system security policy. The operating system and other COE
components provide security policy enforcement. Functional elements loaded later may
provide additional system and security administration capabilities, but the minimum
capabilities for security enforcement and security administration are in the kernel.
3.2.4. Executive Manager.
The Executive Manager component of the kernel is the interface through which an
operator issues commands to the system. The Executive Manager is an icon-and-menu-
driven desktop interface, not a command-line interface. The templates included in the COE
kernel are used to define the basic runtime environment context that an operator inherits
when they log in; which processes to run in the background, and which environment
variables are defined.
3.2.5. COE Tools.
The COE tools within the kernel allow other functional elements to be installed and
enforce critical COE principles. The COE kernel assures that every platform in the system
operates and behaves in a consistent manner and that every platform begins with the same
environment.
3.2.6. Print Services.
Print Services provide the basic print capability of the system. They provide such
functions as user selection of a default printer, printer administration, and a common way of
accessing print resources from an application program and remote printer administration.
3.2.7. Network Services.
The Network Services functional element provides Domain Name Services (DNS).
3.2.8. Window System Services
Microsoft Windows NT(r). Microsoft Windows NT provides the intrinsic graphical user
interface, incorporating the WIN32 user-interface standard. This is the standard windowing
interface for the CG Windows NT platforms.
HP UNIX.
X Windows. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s X Windows
X11R5(r) provides a network-transparent communication protocol between an
application and its presentation logic, high-performance device- independent
graphics, and a hierarchy of resizable, overlapping windows. This is the
standard windowing package for CG Unix-based platforms.
