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 or readable causes the agent to fail security checks
and to exit. Changing file permissions also results in swverify errors.

The GUI System Manager can save Text Schedules Temporarily in the Incorrect Format
When a schedule is activated using the GUI System Manager, it incorrectly saves the
text schedules in a temporary format. When the GUI System Manager exits properly,
it re-saves all the schedules in the correct (unexpanded) format. However, if the GUI
System Manager crashes or does not exit properly, it will leave any activated schedules
in the incorrect format. When the GUI System Manager is subsequently restarted, an
