swacl "database" destroyed

[Herbert Loevenich]

Dear HP-UX community.

i need a fix for the problem caused by the used command

/usr/sbin/swacl -l root -M user:root@:crwit @ /


the command
swacl -l root -v
already returns an error message you are not allowed to perform this action.

All commands has been executed on the Console.

Any hint which pervent a new installation will be appreachiated.

Best regards,

Herbert Loevenich

I'm not sure what the official fix may be but if you have another system, you may be able to look at the files in /var/adm/sw/security/.

On mine, there are several files with the machine name in them, so you would have to change those.

Hello Denis,

i did this before i opened this thread. But it did not made any difference. I've check ownership and premissions during the "copy" process.

Which "patch" does the installation of the swacl file in /var/adm/sw/security ?

A reinstallation might help.

Best regards,

Herbert

You do not need to reinstall. These files are generated from the templates found under /usr/newconfig/var/adm/sw/security using the SD configure scripts. A quick read of /var/adm/sw/products/SW-DIST/SD-AGENT/configure should get you started.

Sorry I am out of time here, but look at the cold-install case. You can do it yourself or attempt to use swconfig to do it for you.
