(Tunable Kernel Parameters)

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 performance of the system.

When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off?

When both

HIDS and Audit are OFF

What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off?

When the tunable is

OFF, HP-UX HIDS

is unable to use any detection template that requires system call

audit records (such as the "Modiﬁcation of Files/Directories Template"). See HP-UX HIDS documentation

for more information about templates. Also in this case Audit will report relative pathnames in the

audit log.

What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?

This tunable is independent of other tunables.

WARNINGS

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 parame-

ter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended

values. For information about the effects of installation on tunable values, consult the documentation for

the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory

installed on your system, see HP-UX Release Notes at
