============================================================
NOTE: The patches are labeled OV (Open View). However, the
patches are also applicable to systems that are _NOT_
running Open View.
============================================================
Workaround for HP-UX Systems:
If a patch is not available for your platform or you cannot
install an available patch, snmpd and snmpdm can be disabled
by removing their entries from /etc/services and removing the
execute permissions from /usr/sbin/snmpd and /usr/sbin/snmpdm.
