Command Options
Options Listed Alphabetically
Appendix A454
• rpc_binding_info_alt_source=ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]
Defines the protocol sequence(s) and endpoint(s) used when the
agent attempts to contact an alternate source depot specified by the
alternate_source option. SD-UX supports both the
udp(ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]) and
tcp(ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121])protocol sequence/endpoint.
Applies to swagent.
• rpc_timeout=5
Relative length of the communications timeout. This is a value in the
range from 0 to 9 and is interpreted by the DCE RPC. Higher values
mean longer times; you may need a higher value for a slow or busy
network. Lower values give faster recognition of attempts to contact
hosts that are not up or are not running swagentd.
Each value is approximately twice as long as the lower one. A value
of 5 is about 30 seconds for the ncadg_ip_udp protocol sequence.
This option may be ignored when using the ncacn_ip_tcp protocol
sequence.
Applies to all commands except swmodify and swpackage.
• run_as_superuser=true
This option controls SD-UX’s nonprivileged mode. This option is
ignored (treated as true) when the invoking user is super-user.
At the default value of true, SD-UX operations are performed
normally, with permissions for operations either granted to a local
super-user or set by ACLs. (See Chapter 9, “SD-UX Security,” on
page 255 for details on ACLs.)
When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user,
nonprivileged mode is invoked:
— Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system
permissions.
— ACLs are ignored.
— Files created by SD-UX have the uid and gid of the invoking user,
and the mode of created files is set according to the invoking
user’s umask.
