HP SMH 2.2.3 release for HP-UX
• This release corrects the 2.2.2 release problem of numerous unnecessary processes attributed
to the System Management Homepage startup daemon.
• If you used or will use Bastille to configure an IPFilter-based firewall, either with the Bastille
GUI or by selecting the Sec20MngDMZ or Sec30DMZ Install-Time Security levels, you will
only be able to access System Management Homepage from the local system.
To access System Management Homepage remotely, perform these steps:
1. Add the following rules to the /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/ipf.customrules
file:
— pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 2301 Flags S keep state keep frags
— pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 2381 Flags S keep state keep frags
2. Run bastille -b.
You must run the command with the Bastille configuration file in place at
/etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/config. This directs Bastille to configure the
firewall. See the bastille(1m) manpage for details.
HP SMH 2.2.2 release for HP-UX
• The following warning occurs when you use HP-UX Bastille to disable the Apache server
on a system that has an System Management Homepage instance of Apache running. The
warning confirms that the Bastille configuration you selected does not affect the System
Management Homepage Apache server. To continue to run the System Management
Homepage Apache server, ignore this message; otherwise, you can disable the System
Management Homepage Apache server manually.
WARNING: The following processes were still running even though
the corresponding service appears to be turned off.
Bastille question and action will be skipped.

• Please note that Hewlett-Packard did not reissue the HP-UX documentation (online help,
install guide, and release notes) for this release. The December 2005 release documentation
can be used for this March 2006 release.
• If you are logging in to System Management Homepage from HP Systems Insight Manager
(HP SIM), but the System Management Homepage page never appears, then you need to
modify a setting in HP SIM so that is always uses a fully qualified name in the URI. For
example, in the browser you would only see the hostname:2381 at the end of the URI instead
of the fully_qualified_hostname:2381.
To configure HP SIM to always use a fully qualified hostname when logging in to System
Management Homepage:
1. Select Options ⇒ Security ⇒ System Link Configuration.
