the user.
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GROUP=csi_
acct
Keep the default value
Group name to use when you create a new user as the user’s
primary group. This group is for low security access. Most
inspections are executed with the lowest possible privileges using
this group while also preventing access by way of this group to the
high security group privileges.
CSI_CREATE_USER_PRIMARY_
GROUP=Y
Keep the default value
Indicates the need to create a low-security primary group for the
CSI_USER.
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_
GID=501Keep the default value
Create user’s primary Group ID.
CSI_USER_USE_NEXT_
AVAILABLE_LOCAL_GID=Y
Keep the default value
Setting this option to Y allows the Group ID to be the next available
local Group ID over CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GID.
CSI_USER=csi_acct
Keep the default value
The user assigned to the cfgsoft group. The CSI listener process
runs under this user.
CSI_CFGSOFT_GID=500
Keep the default value
The Group ID of the cfgsoft group. This value can change if the
GID is already in use. This group is for high-security access. Some
inspections require root privileges, which are provided indirectly
through this group and setuid to root.
CSI_CREATE_LOCAL_GROUP=Y
Keep the default value
Setting this option to Y allows the cfgsoftgroup to be created.
This setting allows the system call to groupadd.
CSI_USE_NEXT_AVAILABLE_
LOCAL_GID=Y

Setting this option to Y allows this Group ID to be the next available
local Group ID starting at CSI_CFGSOFT_GID.
CSI_AGENT_PORT=26542
Keep the default value
Specifies the port on which the Agent listens.
CSI_CREATE_LOCAL_
SERVICE=YKeep the default
value
Setting CSI_CREATE_LOCAL_SERVICE to Yallows the system to
create the local service (copy files to system directories).
CSI_REFRESH_INETD=Y
Keep default value only if you are
running your agent as inetd. If you
are running your agent as a
daemon, select CSI_REFRESH_
INETD=N
Setting this option to Y allows the system to refresh xinetd (Linux)
or inetd (Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX).
