EnGarde Secure Professional comes with a default configuration for protecting your files based on your configuration options and installed packages. If packages are removed, or added LIDS will have to be updated. Most of this can be easily accomplished using the GD WebTool application.
If you wish to do administration of LIDS from the console you will need to use the lidsadm program. Using the commands described in the previous section we will remove, add and update files on your EnGarde system Before any administration can be done you must first turn off LIDS. Turn LIDS off only on your session. Unless you are working in multiple sessions and feel safe leaving your system unprotected for the time.
