Introduction
Version 4.2 of HIDS is available from the following sources:
• As a depot directory on an Application Release CD for 11i and on OEUR for HP-UX 11i v2
(from March 2006 onwards).
• As a depot file you download from the HP Software Depot Website for HP-UX 11i, beginning
from January 2006.
The HIDS software product bundle, HPUX-HIDS, contains the IDS and IDS-KRN products. The
IDS-KRN product is used to reduce the likelihood of a system reboot for future HIDS software
updates. The IDS product contains four filesets. Table 2-1 lists the filesets included in the IDS
