tripwire is a third party tool that will protect binaries or at least notify you when they change.

if the purpose is a diseaster recovery, I would suggest making two copies of a recovery media with make_tape_recovery.

Also, as a written documentation reference, I woudl print out the txt output from cfg2html script and keep it in a safe place.

Hi,
I couldn't make out what do you mean by "to be protected". If your object is regarding backup, as others said ignite backup is the best way. Or did you mean the security?

regards,

All the configuration files and executables for HP-UX are protected by the permissions of the directories. The only method for these files to be changed is by logging in as root. That means, no one gets the root password except a specific system administrator or two.

As far as backups, there are about 5000 files and directories that need to be saved and have restricted access. As mentioned, Ignite/UX and fbackup can copy these files to tape.
