swinstall ACL's

Krishna Prasad — Mon, 27 Sep 2004 13:04:26 GMT

I recently changed the name of my host using the set_parms hostname command. The named changed fine, however when I run swinstall I get an error message. It says I do not have the correct ACL permission to perform swinstall. I am user root. When I do a swacl -l host it tells me I don't have the correct access???? I can I change the ACL?

I think you need to restart swagentd.

# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

now give it a try

that worked and must not have had anything to do with the name change. I previously rebooted the box.

/var/adm/sw/products/ifiles/_ACL:# default_realm=

check the above file and line.

Otherwise just put the entry as above and try restarting the swagentd daemon and then doing swacl -l host

Hope above helps

There is a good paper on swacl at:
http://software.hp.com/SD_AT_HP/docs/sdacls.pdf

If you did 'set_parms hostname' and _didn't_ reboot you have the potential
for daemons other than swagentd to be confused too. If you did reboot then
I don't think kicking swagentd is going to help. You can tail
/var/adm/sw/swagent[d].log for more detail on the failure.

Also make sure that the IP address and hostname
match such that

nslookup currentHostName
and
ifconfig lan0

give the same answer
