    NOTE: Installing patches listed in the Security Patch Matrix will
    completely implement the RESOLUTION in the Security Bulletin
    _only_ if there are no MANUAL ACTIONS included.

    The Security Patch Check tool can also verify that a Security
    Bulletin RESOLUTION has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX Versions
    provided that no MANUAL ACTIONS were included. The Security Patch
    Check tool cannot verify patches implemented via product upgrade.
