Troubleshooting the Solaris client
If a problem was caused while installing or uninstalling the client, there are several things to
investigate. These can include ensuring that all required files were installed in the correct
directory, uninstalling and then reinstalling the client, and checking process logs. In addition,
you might encounter problems with the operation of the client. You can check whether the
client is running, and stop and restart the client.
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:
