Penetration of HP/UX

Hello fellow pen-testers, I've recently encountered a HP/UX Box in a penetration test. Now I've been searching for materials on HP/UX as it is (over here) not a common system to encounter. All I've found on public search engines were links to exploits from < 2001. Have I just not searched thoroughly enough or are there hardly any papers? I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me directions to look at. Now what kind of makes me wonder: How do you usually approach a system you haven't encountered before? I have been doing a "usual suspect"-analysis in mapping the OS with your-favourite-port-scanner-here and your-favourite-vulnerability-scanner-here - but beyond that? There are two services listening - Sendmail and ProFTPD, both not obviously wrong configured. Exploits don't work for HP/UX as they do for "normal" Linuxes/Unixes. This is because HP/UX (as far as I know) mainly works on SPARC CPU's, thus having Big Endian instructions which is different from standard x86 - or am I wrong? Thank you all for your time!
