        Password:  sendmail

        FTP Access: ftp://sendmail:sendmail@hprc.external.hp.com/
                or: ftp://sendmail:sendmail@192.170.19.51/
                or: ftp hprc.external.hp.com

        Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
               a browser hang.  To work around this:
        - Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
        - Un-check the option:
                  [ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites

     Unpack the file with gunzip(1).

     Verify the cksum or the md5 sum:

     cksum:
     2052507672 401408 sendmail.886.10.01
     3975773765 806912 sendmail.893.10.20
     2575934578 970752 sendmail.811.11.00
     905487102 827392 sendmail.893.11.00
     3003791603 1015808 sendmail.811.11.11
     3842273936 860160 sendmail.893.11.11
     3819176330 2281732 sendmail.811.11.22

     Note: If you wish to verify the md5 sum and you do not
           have a copy of md5, please refer to:
               HPSBUX9408-016
               Patch sums and the MD5 program
     Note: Using your itrc account security bulletins can be
          found here:
     http://itrc.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/screen=ckiSecurityBulletin


     MD5 (sendmail.886.10.01) = 2af7445285f285a7865fb9c202b500fe
     MD5 (sendmail.893.10.20) = fbc327a2be485b63a8d884f9a727648f
     MD5 (sendmail.811.11.00) = aff4e97d8a07cdf23b68359b1e72494e
     MD5 (sendmail.893.11.00) = a7f5c7d9004b04d95b895b8b5f703ac5
     MD5 (sendmail.811.11.11) = 4bbf09bf6ce4e9f814eecbcc632c7816
     MD5 (sendmail.893.11.11) = 54d63cf32720b66bee44e79b634c9741
     MD5 (sendmail.811.11.22) = 9871b8fd59f9aa39e66da2185681710e

     Copy the file to a protected directory such as /usr/sbin.

     Login as root and run killsm:

        killsm

     Verify the sendmail daemon is not running:

        ps -ef | grep sendmail

     Make a backup copy of the existing sendmail:

        cd /usr/sbin
        cp sendmail sendmail.original

     Note the permissions for reference:

        ls -lia /usr/sbin/sendmail

     Install the new sendmail:

        cp sendmail.xxx.yy.zz sendmail

     For example, on 11.22:

        cp sendmail.811.11.22 sendmail

**REVISED 02**
     Restart sendmail.

     If you were running sendmail before the killsm
     command above, you can now restart it with the
 --> following command (for HP-UX, not VVOS):

        /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

 --> Note: Do not execute the command above for VVOS 11.04

 --> If you are running VVOS (Virtual Vault Operating System)
 --> please do not start the sendmail daemon. VVOS support does
 --> not allow for a sendmail daemon to be running.



    Note: If you receive either of the following messages after
    applying the fix, please follow the recommended action.

     warning: /etc/mail/aliases has world read or
                        write permission. This is unsafe.

     warning: /etc/mail/aliases.db has world read or
                        write permission. This is unsafe.


     Recommended action

      Execute the following commands.

        chmod 640 /etc/mail/aliases
        chmod 640 /etc/mail/aliases.db
        sendmail -bi
