Default Search Paths
If you do not specify a search paths and leave the Parameter (ROOT) box blank, NetIQ Vulnerability Manager will search the following directories by default:
- paths common to all platforms: /dev /etc /root /usr /var
- AIX: /aix /audit /lpp /net /opt /sbin /web
- HP-UX: /bin /lib /opt /sbin
- Linux: /bin /lib /opt /sbin
- SunOS: /devices /net /opt /sbin /vol /xfn
- FreeDSB: /bin /boot /sbin /stand
- OSF: /bin /lib /opt /sbin
Select Search Paths
If you enter specific search paths, NetIQ Vulnerability Manager will only search the paths specifically listed and will ignore the default paths. Use a space delimiter between the paths: /dir1 /dir2 /dir3
