                            HP Support Information Digests

    ===============================================================================
    o Security Bulletin Digest Split
       ------------------------------

       The security bulletins digest has been split into multiple digests
       based on the operating system (HP-UX, MPE/iX, and HP Secure OS
       Software for Linux). You will continue to receive all security
       bulletin digests unless you choose to update your subscriptions.
       
       To update your subscriptions, use your browser to access the
       IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

         http://support.itrc.hp.com/

       Under the Maintenance and Support Menu, click on the "more..." link.
       Then use the 'login' link at the left side of the screen to login
       using your IT Resource Center User ID and Password.

       Under the notifications section (near the bottom of the page), select
       Support Information Digests.

       To subscribe or unsubscribe to a specific security bulletin digest,
       select or unselect the checkbox beside it. Then click the
       "Update Subscriptions" button at the bottom of the page.

    o IT Resource Center World Wide Web Service
       ---------------------------------------------------

       If you subscribed through the IT Resource Center and would
       like to be REMOVED from this mailing list, access the
       IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

         http://support.itrc.hp.com/

       Login using your IT Resource Center User ID and Password.
       Then select Support Information Digests (located under
       Maintenance and Support). You may then unsubscribe from the
       appropriate digest.
