HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.4 Administrator Guide (5900-1634, April 2011)

NOTE: HP-UX HIDS uses the IP address to identify and communicate with the agent host. The
host name is displayed in the Host fields and is part of the alert and error log file names. As a
result, the final value of the Host field can have any value you choose.
It is possible to have duplicate host names with different IP addresses. If both refer to different hosts
with running agents, their alert and error messages are stored in the same alert and error log files
on the administration system.
