NAME
enable_idds - enable intrusion detection data source
VALUES
Failsafe
Default
Allowed values
or
Recommended values
if HP-UX HIDS is installed,
otherwise.
DESCRIPTION
From HP-UX 11i Version 3 onwards, the tunable is replaced by the dynamic tunable audit_track_paths(5).
If is set to then the HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System (HP-UX HIDS) can enable the collection of kernel data for intrusion detection.
This also causes additional things to be tracked by the kernel, resulting in a small degradation in performance (and increase in kernel
memory usage), even if HP-UX HIDS is not in use.
Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
Anyone using HP-UX HIDS.
Restrictions on Changing
Changes to this tunable take effect at the next reboot.
When Should the Tunable Be Turned On?
This tunable should be turned on if HP-UX HIDS is installed. The installation will automatically turn on
What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On?
The name of the current working directory (and root directory) of every process is tracked, resulting in a change in memory usage and per-
formance of the system.
When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off?
If HP-UX HIDS is not being used should be turned off.
What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off?
When turned off, HP-UX HIDS is unable to use any detection template that uses (See the documentation for HP-UX HIDS for more information on
What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
This tunable is independent of other tunables.
WARNINGS
This tunable has been replaced by
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release-specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
HP-UX.
Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation,
some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun-
able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was
