We can fix that. However, we would much prefer if you could write everything someone needs to know about tuning HPUX for Apache up on a web page and submit that to us, then we can simply replace the existing one with that. Normally, a "bug report" is the proper way to send such things in; if it is not easy to put in the body of the bug report, you can followup with an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the same subject line or you can give a URL for it.
