Subject: 1. INTRODUCTION
Overview
========
This article contains the answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) seen
in the Usenet newsgroup comp.sys.hp.hpux. Issues may also be discussed in
comp.sys.hp.apps, comp.sys.hp.misc, and comp.sys.hp.hardware. Discussion
in this document centers around Hewlett-Packard computer systems running
the HP-UX[R] operating system; the focus is on HP-UX 10.20, and later,
running on HP9000 Series 700 workstations and HP9000 Series 800 servers,
though some of the information presented may also apply to earlier
versions of HP-UX, including HP-UX for Series 300, 400, 500, and 600
HP9000 machines. Previous versions of this FAQ contained some information
specific to HP-UX 9.x and earlier; such information has been removed, as
of version 11.11.0105 of the FAQ. This decision was made because HP-UX
versions 10.00 and earlier have been officially classified as obsolete by
HP, as well as to permit greater focus on the more current versions of
HP-UX. The FAQ will be updated every other month or as the maintainer
sees fit, and it will be posted on Usenet once a month.

HP9000 Series 100 and Series 200 machines did not run HP-UX. They ran
HPL, BASIC or Pascal. These languages were usually stored on disks and
loaded from there, but you could also get the languages on plug-in ROM
cards.
(Thanks to Joe <rigdonj@intellistar.net>; for the above blurb on s100/s200)
Series 400 machines were basically HP9000/Apollo hybrids. The boot PROM
contained support for two different modes - one for DomainOS (the native
Apollo operating system) and one for HP-UX.
(Thanks to <ml@rz.uni-potsdam.de>; for the above blurb on s400)
Series 900 is the HP3000 family of business servers. These machines all
run MPE/iX, not HP-UX. For more information on HP3000 and MPE/iX, see:
o http://www.hp.com/go/hp3000
o http://jazz.external.hp.com/
s300 6.5 and s800 3.1 were both replaced by a supposedly converged HP-UX
7.0, but, in fact, there were significant differences, and not just
because of the IO architectues.
(Thanks to Julian Perry <jules@limitless.co.uk>; for the above blurb)
HP-UX releases <= 10.20 have been removed from the HP corporate price list
(ie, they can no longer be purchased).
HP-UX releases <= 10.00 have been classified as obsolete (ie, no longer
supported by HP). 10.01/10/20 will be supported through June 30, 2003.
For futher info on HP software discontinuance & obsolescense dates, see:
o http://software.hp.com/RELEASES-MEDIA/discon/index.htm
HP-UX 10.30 was a limited release intended for early access for 32-bit
kernel threads development and testing, prior to the release of HP-UX
11.00. For this reason, it was discontinued and obsoleted fairly
soon after the release of 11.00.
HP-UX 11.10 was a limited release and is supported only on V2500 SCA and
V2600 SCA servers. Prior to the release of 11.11, 11.10 came preinstalled
on these systems. It was never available separately.
HP-UX 11.11 and later is marketed as "HP-UX 11i." The "i" stands for
"Internet." Here are the mappings from 11i versions to HP-UX versions
as reported by uname:
11i version Uname version CPU arch. Description
==========================================================================
1.0 11.11 PA OE Release
1.5 11.20 IPF Itanium Release
1.6 11.22 IPF Consolidation Release
2.3 11.23 PA+IPF Independence Release
2T 11.24? PA+IPF TruCluster Release
3.0 11.30 PA+IPF Self-Healing/Tuning Release
Notice that once the IA64 and PA64 branches merge back together in 11.23,
the versions will correlate better with each other, and are expected to
maintain this correlation beyond this point.
For a release history of HP-UX that includes discontinuance and
obsolescence dates for the various releases, see:

Subject: 3.7 How does the Compaq merger affect the HP-UX roadmap?
HP and Compaq both offered UNIX operating systems: HP-UX and Compaq Tru64
UNIX.
Decision: HP-UX will be the long-term UNIX for the new HP. Tru64 UNIX has
some very advanced features -- including clustering and file systems --
and some of those will be integrated into HP-UX over time.
Rationale: HP-UX has a much larger market share and installed base of
customers. It also has much broader ISV support than Tru64 UNIX.

data with the European ITRC sites. European support customers
should register at and continue to use the European site, and
Americas/Asia-Pacific support customers should register at and
continue to use the Americas/Asia-Pacific site.
The HP ITRC allows you to:
o Resolve software problems by searching up-to-date support and problem-
solving information, and by downloading the latest HP-UX patches
o Browse news and current announcements
o Subscribe to automatically receive the latest Hewlett-Packard support
information
o Log, track, and reply to non-urgent calls with the Response Center.
HP's support offerings on the ITRC site are fairly extensive. Anyone can
access the Patch Database, Support Information Digests, and certain
portions of the Technical Knowledge Database.
HP does require (free) registration to access anything on the ITRC.
When you click on any of the links, it will ask you to either Enter as a
Registered User, or Register Now.
With a valid software agreement, you can also log non-urgent calls, and
search more of the Technical Knowledge Database. You will also be able
to access the Software Update Manager. With PSS or PAS level support,
you are also able to access the Custom Patch Manager.
If you do not have a software agreement, or you don't have the
information for it, after you have registered and the ITRC has given you
your userid, go back until you get the "Enter as a Registered User"
choice again. (The only link on the page that gives you your userid
tries to link you to a software agreement)

o Section 1: User Commands
o Section 1M: System Administration Commands
o Section 2: System Calls
o Section 3: Library Functions
o Section 4: File Formats
o Section 5: Miscellaneous
o Section 7: Device Special Files
o Section 9: Introduction and Glossary
Sections are further divided into many individual entried called manual
pages, or simply manpages. Manpages can be viewed using the man command.
For more information on manpages, see man(1) - ie:
$ man man

Subject: 4.7.2 /usr/share/doc
On HP-UX 10.00 and later, the /usr/share/doc directory contains HP-UX
release notes and technical whitepapers. Most of the documents are in
ASCII text format. On 10.x, some of the documents are in PCL format. On
10.x and 11.00, several of the documents are in PostScript format. And on
11.11, a few of the documents are in PDF format.
The text (.txt) files can be readily viewed using a variety of viewers
(more, pg, vi, etc..). The PCL, PostScript, and PDF files are meant to
be printed out, not viewed online. In order to view them online, you
would need to install third-party applications such as GhostScript and
GhostView. You would also need to have a graphical display and have an
X server running.
Hewlett Packard Printer Control Language (.pcl) files can be printed on
any HP printer. If you have a non-HP printer, you can use GhostScript,
or a number of other programs, to convert the PCL to PostScript.
PostScript (.ps) files can be printed on any printer that supports
PostScript However, it is not necessary to have a PostScript-compatible
printer. There are public domain programs, for example, GhostScript, that
can convert PostScript to other printer languages, such as PCL.
To print Portable Document Format (.pdf) files, download and install
Adobe[R] Acrobat[R] Reader (see question 8.35). Alternatively, you can
use GhostScript to convert from PDF to PostScript or PCL.
Now that you know how to view and print the documents, here is a listing
of the documents you'll find in /usr/share/doc on 11.00, 11.11, and 10.20:

Subject: 5.1 Auditing and Security

Subject: 5.1.1 How do group privileges work?
HP-UX 9.0 and later allows special attributes to be associated with
groups, which allows some superuser-like capabilities to be controlled by
defining which groups they are accessible from. In this way it becomes
possible to distribute superuser accessible commands to other users
without allowing them full access to all other superuser capabilities.
Implicitly, the super-user is a member of ALL groups.
This allows some (slight) relaxing of UNIX's 'all or nothing' approach to
distributing privileged capabilities. Privileged groups are an HP-UX-
specific feature.
Here is a list of group privileges available in various releases of HP-UX,
along with a brief description of the system capabilities that they
control:
9.0 and later
=============
o PRIV_RTPRIO - can use rtprio() to set real-time priorities (see
rtprio(1) and rtprio(2))
o PRIV_MLOCK - can use plock() to lock proc |
