ACL Setting

Ray Bell — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 12:01:27 GMT

I'm trying to remote install patches from one server to another and when I try to installed the patches I get the following error:

"You do not have the required permissions to select this target. Check permissions using the "swacl" command or see you SA for assistance.

How do I set permission on the remote host to allow my server to install software on it?

Please Help...

In most of cases this is from misconfigured host/network. Check your hosts and netconf files. Can you send the full log from swinstall ?

I double check the host files on both servers and they are correct. I recievd this error when the swinstall started:

"You do not have the required permissions to select this target. Check permissions using the "swacl" command or see you SA for assistance.

You probably don't have nsswitch.conf file - check for that. And can you write exact command what you use - maybe there are missing @ in target selection.

Here's the content of the nsswitch.conf file:

hosts: files[NOTFOUND=continue] dns
services: files
protocols: files
networks: files
rpc: files
netgroup: files
aliases: files

Hi ,

Try restarting the swagent daemon.

#/usr/sbin/swagentd -r

I have restart it already and di it twice after I failed again. I aslo remove the .sdkey from /var/adm/sw. I have tried most basic things but any suggestions will help.

Thanks...

Hello Ray,
The Software Distributor agents may be at different patch levels, try installing the latest SD cumulative patch on each system on its own from a local depot and restart the swagentd on each system and try again .

Like it says, check the ACL for your depot:

$ swacl -l depot @

This should show read permission for
category "any_other": if not edit the ACL file and re-assign it to your patch depot.

$cd /catalog/dfiles

$ vi _ACL

$ swacl -l depot -F "_ACL" @

I ended up having to add the remote server by using the following commnds:

swacl -l root -M:user@remotesystem:crwit
swacl -l root -M other:r

Anyway this correct the problem.

Thanks you all...
