Chapter 5 Securing the Server 61
Domain Minimization
One way to contribute to the security of a server is to tailor the installation of
software to an essential minimum. By limiting the number of software components
installed on each domain (called domain minimization), you can reduce the risks of
security holes that can be exploited by potential intruders.
For a detailed discussion of minimization, with examples, see Minimizing Domains
