it reports every 5 mins.

I check my cimprovider version:
what /opt/wbem/bin/cimprovider
/opt/wbem/bin/cimprovider:
HP-UX WBEM Services A.02.05.08 (Sep 18 2007)
HP-UX WBEM Services-cimprovider A.02.05.08 (Sep 18 2007)

What's the problem with that? Is there any patches need to apply? Thanks!

Looking like there is an script in root's crontab which is trying to connect to the cimserver. And cimserver is not allowing to authenticate the root user. It's may be because of root password is not working on cimserver.

It's not looking any patch issue.

Thanks
