Privilege elevation

When “DISPLAY_LAST_LOGIN” = 1 in HP-UX, even non-interactive logins, such as used by
sudo, emit the Last login string. This extraneous data in stderr/stdout can affect tools.
This value can be changed using HP SMH in the Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration
section of the HP SMH home page. This can be done for the user whose rights have been elevated
(typically “root”) or set as the system-wide default for all users.
To make these changes, run the following commands:
For an individual user:

/usr/sbin/userdbset –u <user> DISPLAY_LAST_LOGIN=0

For the system-wide default:

/usr/sbin/ch_rc –a –p DISPLAY_LAST_LOGIN=”0” /etc/default/security

Property pages

I am receiving an error when clicking the Fans link on the Property pages Configuration tab.
Solution: Upgrade to HP ProLiant WBEM Providers 2.3.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Property pages for the VMWare ESX (Non-Embedded) operating system are not available
due to limitations in the WBEM agents.

Reporting

The reporting engine main page contains the Reports by Product table that displays the products

Check whether the Windows Security Policy is enabled to lock the user account after few
unsuccessful log on attempts.
