remote installing software

[Chris Fadrowski]

i am trying to install some software from a remote server on my LAN. i keep getting this error and have no idea why.

"hostname:/cdrom/HPUX11_32/NETWORKR.PKG": You do not have the
required permissions to perform this operation. Check permissions
using the "swacl" command or see your system administrator for
assistance. Or, to manage applications designed and packaged for
nonprivileged mode, see the "run_as_superuser" option in the "sd" man
page.

any ideas?

Chris are you doing this as root?

[Chris Fadrowski]

yes, i am root on both boxes.

i should mention that i am on 11i, then go to a 11.0 server to get the software. i don't know if there is anything permissions wise in this situation but i didn't think so.

Either put your host name in the .rhost file of the remote root or put you host name into the host.equiv file of the remote host.

You might be having a name resolution problem. I have seen this error when my hostname was listed in my /etc/hosts file as an alias for the localhost & lan0 hostname. Check your hosts file and do an nslookup for the hostname you are trying to use.

Good Luck.

Hi,

Try this:

on local system ( where the CD drive is )

# swreg -l depot /cdrom/HPUX11_32/NETWORKR.PKG
# swagentd -r

on remote system:

# swreg -l depot @ "hostname":/cdromHPUX11_32/NETWORKR.PKG
# swinstall -s hostname:/cdromHPUX11_32/NETWORKR.PKG

HTH,

Hi,

1. If you are trying to install s/w on remote system, put the local machines name in your remote machine's /.rhosts file. Also check on remote /etc/hosts file contains the IP and host name of your local machine.
OR

2. simply export the directory from your local machine and mount it on your remote machine.
Then you will easily install the software using swinstall.

Hope this helps.
