The user is being created. This value indicates whether or not the
user is to be created.
Note:When installing in trusted mode on HP-UX v1.0 (11.11), the
user must already existon the target machine. If you attempt to
install and create the user, the installation of the Agent fails.

user.
CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GROUP=csi_
acct Recommend keeping default
value.
Group name to use when creating 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.

under this user.
CSI_CFGSOFT_GID=500

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

Setting this option to Y allows the cfgsoft group to be created. This
setting allows the system call to groupadd.
