Postinstallation

• The HP-UX startup in progress list should display OK for the

Starting HIDS agent entry.

• When an agent system reboots after a cold installation, the HP-UX

startup in progress list should display N/A for the Starting HIDS

agent entry. That is, system boot will not automatically start

idsagent until after the secure communication keys and certiﬁcates

have been installed on the agent system. See “Conﬁguration” on

page 46.

• On each agent system, after the system has rebooted, run the

IDS_checkInstall script.

$ /opt/ids/bin/IDS_checkInstall

This script checks that the Intrusion Detection Data Source (idds)

kernel driver is conﬁgured and enabled. It also checks that all the

necessary and superseding patches have been installed on all

systems although it does not verify superseding patches.
