Swlist

When I run the swlist command under an non root account (NIS account) I have the following messages:
$ /usr/sbin/swlist
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "sade"...
ERROR: Permission is denied for the current operation. There is no
entry for user id 120 in the user database. Check /etc/passwd
and/or the NIS user database.
ERROR: Internal error. Security check failed unexpectedly. This
error occurred in function "idam_LocateLocalFile", source file
"id.c", line 4674. Please give this information to your
Hewlett-Packard support contact.
ERROR: "sade:/": You do not have the required permissions to perform
this SD operation. Please check to see that you have the
required permissions using the "swacl" command or see your
system administrator for assistance.

The same command on a local account (non root) display all the products installed on the system.
Somebody could help me ?
Thanks

Hi:

See document #5003440222. You need to make swlist "nsswitch.conf" aware.

Hi:

Not to worry. Click Maintenance/Support -> Technical Knowledge Base -> Search by Doc-ID (instead of by keyword) with the id of '5003440222'.
