McAfee® Host Intrusion Prevention 6.1 Product Guide	Host Intrusion Prevention Client
	Solaris client

Verifying installation files

After an installation, check that all the files were installed in the appropriate directory on the client. The /opt/McAfee/hip directory should contain these essential files and directories:

File/Directory Name	Description

HipClient	Solaris client
HipClient-bin

HipClientPolicy.xml	Policy rules

hipts	Troubleshooting tool
hipts-bin

*.so	Host Intrusion Prevention and ePO agent shared
	object modules

log directory	Contains log files: HIPShield.log and HIPClient.log

9

Installation history is written to /opt/McAfee/etc/hip-install.log. Refer to this file for any questions about the installation or removal process of the Host Intrusion Prevention client.

Verifying client is running

The client might be installed correctly, but you might encounter problems with its operation. If the client does not appear in the ePO console, for example, check that it is running, using either of these commands:

/etc/rc2.d/SS99hip status

ps –ef grep hip.

Client operations issues

The Solaris client has no user interface to troubleshoot operation issues. It does offer a command-line troubleshooting tool, hipts, located in the /opt/McAfee/hip directory. To use this tool, you must provide a Host Intrusion Prevention client password. Use the default password that ships with the client (abcde12345), or send a Client UI policy to the client with either an administrator’s password or a time-based password set with the policy, and use this password.

Use the troubleshooting tool to:

Indicate the logging settings and engine status for the client.

Turn message logging on and off.

Turn engines on and off.

Log on as root and run the following commands to aid in troubleshooting:

Run this command...	To do this...

hipts status	Obtain the current status of the client indicating
	which type of logging is enabled, and which
	engines are running.

hipts logging on	Turn on logging of specific messages types.

hipts logging off	Turn off logging of all message types. Logging is off
	by default.
