swlist issue

[Cliff Lim Kok Hwee]

Gd Day Forum,

My application team requires to perform the command swlist on hp-ux 11i serverA and encountered the following error.

WARNING: Security access denied to file "//var/adm/sw/products/INDEX".
ERROR: "serverA:/": 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.

Query: How do I encounter them swlist access?

Thanks/cliff

If you encountering this problem as a normal user you will need to get your SA to look at perhaps your ACL's. Here is an example of permissions.

# swacl -l host
#
# swacl Host Access Control List
#
# For host: myhost
#
# Date: Wed Nov 17 12:36:50 2004
#

# Object Ownership: User= root
# Group=sys
# Realm=myhost.domain.com
#
# default_realm=myhost.domain.com
user:ids:-r---
any_other:-r---

The part you may need to look at is the permissions and users. See the swacl man page on how.

Hi Cliff

I have seen this error before and from what I remember it didn't have too much to do with ACL's.

I would try restarting the swagentd process
# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

Cheers

To use swacl and see if it is ok:
# swacl -l depot @ :/cdrom/

and you can use the following command to see any problems:
# swverify -d @ :/cdrom/
