Have you tried recycling the swagent daemon?

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

Hi Clodaldo,

If you're trying to swinstall that SW from a remote system, you have to register the depot on that remote box.

Since you've got the .depot file, what I would do is create a dir - maybe
/var/spool/sw/ssh-3.5p1
Copy the depot file there.
Extract it
tar xvf openssh-3.5p1-sd-11.00.depot
Move down into the catalog dir
cd catalog
touch swlock
chmod 444 swlock
Then mv the .depot file out of /var/spool/sw/ssh-3.5p1
Then register the depot
swreg -l depot /var/spool/sw/ssh-3.5p1

Then you should be able to swinstall it from the target system.

You other option would be to ftp or rcp it to the target & install it locally. You wouldn't need to register it or anything then.

Rgds,
Jeff

Hi,

check the output of "swacl -l root" on that system: is your account listed there? Maybe then without the "i" permission?
"root" should be the *owner*, are you logged in as "root"?
If not, then try the "swinstall" as "root", or give the permission to your account with "swacl -l root -M user:YOURLOGNAMEHERE:crwit".

HTH,
Wodisch

If restarting the daemon does not fix your problem, have a look at the answer I posted a few weeks ago.
