Host Intrusion Detection System Release 3.1 Release Notes

Installation

Making Depots

It is a good idea to gather the various pieces of software into depots that you can use with the

swinstall command. These instructions tell you how to prepare three combination depots.

You will need at most three of them: one administration depot and one or two agent depots.

The three depots are described in Table 2-3.

After you select the two or three that you need, HP recommends that you go through the rest

of this section and the next one (“Installing the Depots” on page 39) and mark the substeps

that you will need to complete.
