Clarifications
Perform Updates Instead of Cold Reinstalls
HP-UX HIDS is designed to support updates. If users cold reinstall the
newer version by first removing the older version (swremove), two
reboots (instead of just one or possibly none) will occur and there is the
possibility of losing some configuration data.
Do not Change Permissions
Do not change the permissions on files and directories owned by ids.
Opening up the permissions to be world writable/readable causes the
agent to fail security checks and to exit. Changing file permissions also
results in swverify errors.
Known Problems
SSH does not Perform a Clean Exit after idsagent is Started
After starting idsagent from a ssh login, logging out of the agent system
results in the ssh session hanging indefinitely. As a workaround, log in
by entering:
ssh -l root <machine> /usr/dt/bin/dtterm
Then type in the /sbin/init.d/idsagent start commands
interactively.
