NOTE:
If you are browsing to an HP-UX server, by default you must instead use the

port 2301 and only starts HP SMH on port 2381 when requested, then stops it again after a
timeout period. You can also configure HP SMH to always be running on port 2381. See the
smhstartconfig(1M) command for more information. If the Start on Boot feature is enabled
(instead of autostart) a message window explains the security features. You can wait a
few seconds to be redirected to port 2381 or click the link at the bottom of the message. The
