Software distributor support question

Am I correct that Software Distributor has never been supported on Sun? I can find nothing indicating it has ever been supported on that platform

SD is strictly an HP thing. It's not supported on any other platforms.

Sun's equivalent would be the software packages with the pkg* commands.

RH & Fedora linux uses rpm's.

Each unix version generally has it's own way to deal with software.

You are correct.

SD/UX is a wonderful invention and I wish other unices used it but its not done.

Oddly enough, we do use it on our Sun servers successfully. It has worked perfectly in the past. However, we have 3 servers with >31 IP's configured. This has caused swagentd to not be able to start. I found this by testing another Sun server that was working fine... added IP's one by one. At IP address 32 swagentd will not start. Any ideas why?
