Host Intrusion Detection System Release 3.1 Release Notes

Installation

Hardware and Software Requirements

Check that your systems meet the requirements for installing HP-UX HIDS.

Administration and Agent Systems

Each administration and agent system must meet the following requirements:

• You must be running HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v1.6, or 11i v2. To check, enter:

uname -r

It will display B.11.11, B.11.22, or B.11.23, respectively.

• The system must be at least a PA-RISC system for HP-UX 11i v1 or an Intel

Itanium-based for HP-UX 11i v1.6 and 11i v2.

• You must be superuser to do the installation.

Administration System

The system on which you plan to install the administration software must meet the following

requirements:

• You must have 26 MB of free disk space in /opt/ids and space for conﬁguration ﬁles in

/etc/opt/ids and log ﬁles in /var/opt/ids.

• You must have Java SDK or RTE 1.3.1.x (Version 1.3.1.13 or later is recommended) and

all the corresponding Java patches. Java installation is part of these installation

instructions. (Java 1.4.x may co-exist with 1.3.1.x, but it does not work with the System

Manager. Therefore, 1.3.1.x is used by default when the System Manager starts.)

Agent Systems

Each system on which you plan to install the agent software must meet the following

requirements:

• You must have 8 MB of free disk space in /opt/ids.

• The memory mapped ﬁle (/var/opt/ids/ids_*) has increased in size from 10 M to 20 M

in Release 3.1. HP recommends that you have at least 50 M of free space in /var for the

memory mapped ﬁles and log ﬁles.
