The absolute WORST thing about HP-UX is the patches.
Take, for example, the buffer overflow in dtspcd, the CDE Subprocess Control Service. To fix, you must download a patch from HP.
That patch requires four other patches.
Of those four patches, one of them requires more.
Total number of downloaded patches? <b>21</b>. 80-some megs.
That's to fix ONE buffer overflow. Which, by the way, most certainly affects your box (you could get rooted! There's an exploit...).
That's my least favorite thing about HP-UX, by far.
