Software Distributor Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i

Nonprivileged SD
Overview
Chapter 12 415
Limitations
• Remote targets are not allowed with SD-UX remote operations,
except for swlist access to remote systems and commands that can
normally access remote depots. Access to such remote systems is
determined by the SD ACLs on the remote system.
• Nonprivileged mode cannot be used to manage HP-UX operating
system software or patches to it.
• A swinstall or swcopy in nonprivileged mode cannot read a source
depot on a local writable file system that was created with super-user
privileges (that is, created by a super-user, or created by a non
super-user when the run_as_superuser option is set to true and
using ACL permissions). This limitation does not apply to tape or
CD-ROM source depots.
• Swinstall and swcopy in nonprivileged mode can read any remote
source depot as allowed by ACLs, can read local source depots
created by the invoking user in nonprivileged mode, and (depending
on the umask of other users) can read local source depots created by
other users in nonprivileged mode.
