DESCRIPTION

       The HP-UX Peripheral Device tool (pdweb) can be used to easily and quickly view I/O devices and OLRAD cards.  It helps manage hot pluggable
       PCI slots on systems that support adding and replacing cards without rebooting.	On all HP-UX systems, will display the I/O devices and can
       be used to (re)create device files for a selected device.

       The  HP-UX  Peripheral  Device  tool  user  interface uses a Web browser.  Executing the command, with DISPLAY variable set and without any
       options performs the following tasks:

	      o  start the System Management Homepage Web server and

	      o  start a Web client (browser)

       An attempt will be made to connect to the browser specified with the BROWSER environment  variable,  or	Mozilla,  or  Netscape.   The  Web
       browser	will  be  displayed  on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable.  If a running browser is found, it will be used,
       otherwise a new session will be initiated.  This will only happen if the browser process is running on the same system used to exectue  the
       pdweb command (defined by the DISPLAY variable), unless the option is used.

   Options
       The recognizes the following options:

       Opens the terminal interface for Cards and Devices regardless of the
		      current setting of the DISPLAY environment variable.

       Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
		      Two security features are overridden by the option.

		      The  option  forces  the	client	browser  to be used or started, even if the X-traffic between the X-server and the Mozilla
		      browser is not secure.

		      When is invoked by the option is used.

		      Only a priviledged user (root) can execute When used with the option, a temporary login bypass key will be  generated.   The
		      bypass key allows the user to access the Web interface without having to provide login information again.

		      Only  use  this option if you are sure the network traffic is secure between the host where Mozilla is running, and the host
		      in the DISPLAY variable.

		      The browser uses URL http://hostname:2301/ and you may paste this into any browser if a browser does  open  with	the  pdweb
		      command.
