shared data, such as user and group identification, server identification, and access control
information.

support for IPoIB the header, command-line option to configure trace buffer value, pre-capture
trace values, and new options to manage trace filters.
Initial (February 2007) Release Notes, Chapter 8: “Security”
• New: HP-UX 11i Security Containment: Provides compartments, which isolate unrelated
resources on a system to prevent catastrophic system damage if one compartment is penetrated.
When configured in a compartment, an application (processes, binaries, data files and
communication channels used) has restricted access to resources outside its compartment.
Also provides fine-grained privileges, which allow you to grant privileges to processes needed
for the task and, optionally, only for the time needed to complete the task.
• HP-UX Auditing System: Enhanced in several ways, including: auditing subsystem is now
working without converting the system to trusted mode; standard mode audit user selection
information is stored in a per-user configuration user database; userdbset command specifies
which users are to be audited in standard mode; and several other enhancements.
• New: HP-UX Bastille: Although Bastille has been available on the Web (and on the HP-UX 11i
v2 OEs) for some time, it is now available, at version B.3.0.20, on the HP-UX 11i v3 OEs for
the first time for customers migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 and includes several enhancements.
• HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System: Updated to release 4.0 with features including reducing
alert volume by aggregation; reducing alert volume by monitoring only critical files; configuring
critical users; supporting specification of usernames and user IDs; and measuring the event
rate.
