HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.3 administrator guide

$IDS_genAgentCerts
In this process, each host name or IP address you enter is checked for validity, using
the nslookup command. For more information, see nslookup( 1) .
If you enter a host name and nslookup returns a single IP address, the host name and
IP address are saved in a temporary file and the key bundle is created.
If you enter an IP address and nslookup returns a host name, the host name and IP
address are saved in a temporary file and the key bundle is created. Use this method if
the agent is multihomed (two or more IP addresses). The IP address must be the value
you set for IDS_LISTEN_IFACE. For more information, see “Configuring a Multihomed
Agent System” (page 35).
If no IP address or host name is found, you are asked if you want to create the bundle
anyway; no entry is placed in the temporary file.
If multiple IP addresses are found, no entry is placed in the temporary file. The bundle
is created without comment.
When the System Manager is started later, any entries in the temporary file are added
to the host list table displayed on the Host Manager screen.
The following example shows how to enter the names of your host systems, run on
administration host, adminsys, for agent hosts myhost1 and myhost2. It prompts
for each host name or IP address. Press Ctrl-D to end the administration host.
