This is a reminder of the OpenBMC Security Working Group meeting 
scheduled for this Wednesday November 11 at 10:00am PDT.
Apologies if this is a duplicate email.

We'll discuss the following items on the agenda 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b7x9BaxsfcukQDqbvZsU2ehMq4xoJRQvLxxsDUWmAOI/edit>, 
and anything else that comes up:

 1.

    Is OpenBMC ready to move from root to an admin account?  See
    https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/docs/+/33847
    <https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/docs/+/33847>

 2.

    The PAM_ABL module https://github.com/deksai/pam_abl
    <https://github.com/deksai/pam_abl>is no longer supported.  We had
    discussed using PAM_ABL to help prevent DoS.

 3.

    The CSIS
    <https://www.cloudsecurityindustrysummit.org/#documents>published a
    paper “A Case for a Trustworthy BMC
    <https://cloudsecurityindustrysummit.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/a-case-for-a-trustworthy-bmc.pdf>”
    that gives recommendations for security.  A section analyzes how
    well the OpenBMC project meets these recommendations
    <https://cloudsecurityindustrysummit.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/a-case-for-a-trustworthy-bmc.pdf#h.h0igu5dbvaun>. 
    I’ve added this to the OpenBMC security wiki.
