sd install problem

catastro — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:24:50 GMT

Hi, I have a depot server and I am running on it sd. I try to install some software from my depot server to another server, and a new window prompt and tells me that I do not have permissions and that I have to check swacl.
I already performed an stop / start of swagentd and I opened the ports range in my firewall (port 2121, 135 and 19100 - 19150; I only allow swagent to open this ones that I specified in /etc/rc.config.d/swagent).
When I perform a swinstall from my server to the depot server, I can access the software and install and all goes ok.
I have other servers that I can do this, and the swacl output is different, could be this one the issue? Can anyone tells me how to change the swacl permissions as in the man page I do not see anything clear...

Shalom,

Remote swinstall requires NFS ports be opened up between the sd/ux server and client.

This means 2049 and a possible range above 16000.

NFS v4 permits you to configure the service to limit port ranges. It is I believe only available on HP-UX 11.31.

Hi Steven.
Thanks for the replay. I opened the ports in my firewall and still tells me the same things. My swacl output is this one:

madrid:/root#swacl -l root
#
# swacl Installed Software Access Control List
#
# For host: madrid:/
#
# Date: Lun, 11 Feb 2008 15:22:14
#

# Object Ownership: User= root
# Group=sys
# Realm=madrid.madrid.catastro.minhac.es
#
# default_realm=madrid.madrid.catastro.minhac.es
object_owner:crwit
any_other:-r---

but I guess I should have an entry as well for my depot server (this is the local server where I am trying to install in). How can I modify the acl files and which ones?

Check ports TCP/2121 and 2200-2299.
If you can list depots pnly, but can not install check ports 2200-2299.

I founded a solution for this issue. I had to open these ports on my firewall:

- 135 TCP / UDP
- 2121 TCP / UDP
- 2049 TCP / UDP
- 19100 – 19150 TCP / UDP

It has to be in boths directions in order to the reply of the destination not be stopped by the firewall.
In the servers I had to modify the file
/etc/rc.config.d/swconfig and leave it as follows:

# swconfig
#
# Set environment variables for use by SD and by SD child processes
# at the system startup.
########

########
# SW_DEFERRED_KERNBLD
#
# TRUE: The system's kernel must be built as part of the startup.
# That includes the system file extraction and possible stripping.
# Once the kernel build succeeds, this variable needs to be unset.
#
# : Bypass all kernel build steps.
#
# Default value is unset.

SW_DEFERRED_KERNBLD=

########
# SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD
#
# 1: Enable the swagentd daemon.
#
# 0: Disable the swagentd daemon.
#
# Default value is 1.

SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD=1

RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS=ncacn_ip_tcp[135-135,19100-19150]:ncadg_ip_udp[135-135,1910
0-19150]
export RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS

And in the detination I had to execute this commands:

swacl -l root -M user:root@:a
swacl -l host -M user:root@:a

Then, I executed this commands:

- /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
- /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

After all this, I can install in both ways, from my depot server to the destination and from my destination choosing the software is in my depot server.
Thanks for your help.
