HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Release 4.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1 | HP-UX 11i v2

1. Log in as superuser (root) on a system where you can build a software depot.
The current or intended HP-UX HIDS administration system is a good choice.
2. If the base directory does not exist, create the base directory for the depots, as
follows:
# mkdir /var/depot
Getting Patches for HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2
Perform this procedure only on agent systems running either HP-UX 11i v1 (PA-RISC)
or 11i v2 (PA-RISC/Itanium-based).
NOTE: If you have installed any software updates, some of these patches may already
be present on your systems. You can first install the HP-UX HIDS software and run
the /opt/ids/bin/IDS_checkInstall command to check the patches that you do
not need to download.
If you attempt to install a patch that is already there, the swinstall command will
note that fact and just install the other patches.
To get patches for HIDS on HP-UX 11i v1 or HP-UX 11i v2 operating systems, complete
the following steps:
1. Log in as superuser (root) on the depot system; see “Creating the Depot Directory”
(page 34).
2. Create a directory in which you can save the patches and make a temporary depot.
This procedure uses /var/tmp/idspatch_11i.
3. Go to the HP Support Website:
