1.  Introduction

       The Compaq Survey Utility is an online information-gathering 
    agent that runs on Compaq ProLiant servers. It gathers critical
    hardware and software information from various sources and saves
    it to a text file. This utility was designed to facilitate the 
    resolution of problems without taking the server off-line, thus
    maximizing server availability.

2.  Documentation Updates and Corrections

       This section contains information on known errors and omissions
    in the "Compaq Survey for Linux" User Guide.  The information in 
    this section is more up-to-date than that in the User Guide.

3.  Known Issues

    1)  There are some instances with some browsers were all of the icons on
        the device home page may not show up.  Refresh will sometimes solve
        this issue. The viewer should still function correctly.
        
    2)  This update fixes a potential security vulnerability in Compaq 
        web-enabled management software. Compaq strongly recommends that 
        you update your software as soon as possible.  Compaq management 
        software running any Web Based Enterprise Management Agent or 
        Utility that resides on port 2301 can act as generic proxy server.
        Internal traffic going out to the Internet can bypass a normal 
        proxy server filtering by using TCP/IP port 2301 and external traffic 
        may be able to infiltrate internal networks if there is no additional 
        firewall protection.
