NOTE: If you are upgrading LIDS, you should backup everything in the /etc/lids directory first!)
From your LIDS source directory, type:
bash$ tar -zvxf lidstools-version.tar.gz
bash$ cd lidstools-version
bash$ ./configure
bash$ make
bash$ su -
bash# make install |
This will install lidsadm and lidsconf in the /sbin directory. It will also create an /etc/lids directory and place a few default configuration files in it for you. The configuration files will be updated with the proper inode and device information for your system. You will also be prompted to enter the LIDS password at this time. The inode update process can give some errors if it is looking for files that are non-existant on your system. These errors are not harmful.
If you do not wish to enable the view option (-V) in lidsadm, specify --disable-view when running configure.
