sam view installed software

[christian_derek]

Hi,

I'm trying via SAM to see the software already install on the box, but I'm getting could not contact host 'alicia'. I'm currently running hpux 11.23 on rx7620.

Thanks,

Hi Christian:

Verify that 'alicia' is defined in '/etc/hosts' and includes a fully-qualified name too.

At the commandline as root, do:

# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

Now try again.

Regards!

Shalom,

/sbin/init.d/swagentd -R

or

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

Make sure you have a /etc/nsswitch.conf file in place.

Also this are your resolution files:

/etc/hosts
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf

Make sure they are consistent,

Jaime.

Hi,

Now i'm getting You do not have the required permissions to select this target. Check permissions using the swacl command or see your system adminstrator for assistance. Or, to manage applications designed and packaged for non-privileges mode, see the 'run_as_superuser' option in the sd man page. i'm running swinstall directly on my system, not on a remote.

swacl
ERROR: A valid edit level is needed for the successful execution of
"swacl"(). The valid levels are:"host", "depot", "root",
"product", "product_template", "global_product_template" or
"global_soc_template".

Any help?

In the past, for me at least, I have had to reboot the sytem after I encountered this error. It occurs ususually after changing some networking/routing info on the system (hostname, IP address, nsswitch.conf, etc). The program seems to be extremely sensetive to changes in this area.

Don't know if it will help in your case, but you could give it a try.

Hi Christian:

Are you running as 'root'? Make sure, too, that 'swlist' has setuid permissions for root:

# ls -l /usr/sbin/swlist
-r-sr-xr-x 11 root bin 2289664 Nov 3 2003 /usr/sbin/swlist

Regards!

The reboot solved the problem,

Thanks,
