HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.3 release notes

NOTE: In the following procedure, swinstall does not reinstall any patches or applications
that are already installed. You can ignore messages to that regard. The software you need will
be installed properly.Do not reinstall any patches without consulting HP Support first.
The swinstall option -x autoreboot=true in the following procedure ensures that any
software that requires a system reboot will be installed. If none of the installed software requires
a reboot, the system will not be rebooted. See also “Will Installing HP-UX HIDS Version 4.3
Reboot My Agent System?” (page 27).
1. Log in as superuser (root) on the HP-UX HIDS administration system.
2. Make sure you are the only user on the system, since the installation might require a reboot.
3. On your administration system, install one of the admin software depots described in
“Making Depots” (page 19), as follows:
a. • 11i Admin Depot
Install the ids_11i_admin depot (a reboot may occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s depotsys:
/var/depot/ids_11i_admin *
b. • 11i Admin and Agent Depot
Install the ids_11i_admin+agent depot (a reboot may occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s depotsys:
/var/depot/ids_11i_admin+agent
IMPORTANT: Make sure to run swinstall with dependencies enforced (i.e., do NOT
invoke swinstall with "-x enforce_dependencies=FALSE) to prevent unusable
software from being installed on the system.

Depots” (page 19), as follows:
a. Log in as superuser (root) on each HP-UX HIDS agent system.
