NAME
setrules - set compartment rules
SYNOPSIS
setrules [-p]
DESCRIPTION
setrules takes the current rules files on the system and puts them into effect. Prior to using this com-
mand, changes in the rules files have no effect on the system. This command can only be used when com-
partmentalization is enabled (see cmpt_tune(1M)).

setrules recognizes the following option:

errors, but setrules makes no changes to the system.
Security Restrictions
The user invoking this command must have one of the following authorizations:
hpux.security.xsec.secrules.unrestricted
hpux.security.xsec.secrules.restricted
See authadm(1M)).
RETURN VALUE
setrules returns the following values:
0 Successful completion. The rules are displayed.
>0 An error occurred. An error can be caused by the following:
• An invalid option.
• The user does not having permissions to perform the operation.
• A syntax or semantic error in a rule file.
• Other system errors (for example, insufficient system resources).
