        This SoftPaq fixes a potential security hole in the web-enabled portion
	of the Compaq Insight Management Agents for NetWare.  This security hole
	can allow read access to files whose location and filename are known and 
        is located on the sane file system where the agents are installed. 
        This affects the web component of Compaq Insight Management Agents version
	4.0 and greater.
	
Instructions on how to use this SoftPAQ to install Agents onto a server
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

	This file contains the instructions on how to install the Compaq 
Insight Management Agents for NetWare onto a NetWare server.  The SoftPAQ 
process has left a self-extracting executable file (SP6235.exe)and this 
file (Sp6235.txt) in a subdirectory.  The goal will be for the user to 
run the self-extracting executable on a client machine and install to any 
target server(s) which require the updated agents.  The target server will 
temporarily contain a subdirectory which will be used to house the files used 
by the Compaq Insight Management Agent Installation NLM (CPQAGIN.NLM).  The agent
installation NLM will be run and will copy the files to the proper places
and will configure the agents.  The final step will be to delete the
temporary subdirectory on the target server.

     The following steps provide more detailed information.


Step 1:  Run the INSTALL batch file to copy files to the Target Server.

	Copy this SP6235.TXT and the SP6235.EXE files to a client machine
which has access to the network which contains the target NetWare server
and then map a drive to the server.  Then run the SP6235.EXE file on that
client machine so it installs the necessary files onto the client machine.
Finally, from the client machine, run the INSTALL.BAT file from the command
prompt specifying the drive letter of the target server.  For example, type
	INSTALL M: 
and hit the Enter key (where M: is the target server drive)


Step 2: Run the installation NLM (CPQAGIN.NLM) on the target server.

	Walk over to the target server and run the Compaq Insight Management
Agent Installation NLM in order to install and configure the new Agents.
To do this, type:
      LOAD SYS:\AGENTS\NETWARE\ENG\COMPAQ\CPQAGIN
and hit Enter.

	Next select the option to 'Copy New NetWare Agents to SYS:SYSTEM".
This will copy the files from the temporary subdirectory to the proper
locations.  Once the file copies are complete, follow the instructions
to configure the agents. Once the installation steps are complete, CPQAGIN 
will automatically start the agents.  


Step 3:  Verify that the Agents work.

	Use Compaq Insight Manager to verify that the target server can be
seen and that the agents are providing data.


Step 4:  Delete the temporary subdirectory on the target server.

	If desired, the temporary directory on the target server which was used 
to stage the files can be deleted.  Go to a client machine and delete the
\AGENTS folder from the target server.
