• Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system permissions.
• SD ACLs are ignored.
• Files created by SD have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode of created
files is set according to the invoking user’s umask.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating system
or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distributor
Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com
web site.
See also the
admin_directory
and installed_software_catalog
options.
Applies to all SD commands except
swagent,
swagentd, and install-sd .
show_superseded_patches=false
Displays or hides superseded patches in swlist
output. In the default state of false,
swlist will not display superseded patches even if you perform a
swlist command on
the superseded patch. Setting this option to
true permits display of superseded patches.
Applies to
swlist.
select_local=true
If no target_selections are specified, select the default
target_directory of the local
host as the target_selection for the command.
Applies to
swacl, swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swlist, swreg, swremove,
and
swverify.
software=
Defines the default software_selections. There is no supplied default. If there is more than
one software selection, they must be separated by spaces. Software is usually specified in a
software input file, as operands on the command line, or in the GUI.
Applies to all commands except
swreg and swjob.
software_view=products
Indicates the software view to be used by the interactive interface of the commands and by
swlist for the default listing level. It can be set to products, all_bundles, or a bundle
category tag (to indicate to show only bundles of that category).
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, swlist, and swremove.
source=
Specify a source to automatically bypass the GUI and CLI source selection dialog box. This
has the same effect as the -ssource command line option. Specify the source using the fol-
lowing syntax.
[path]
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
source_cdrom=/SD_CDROM
Defines the default location of the source CD-ROM using the syntax [host]:[path].
Applies to swinstall.
source_depot_audit=true
If both source and target machine are updated to SD revision B.11.00 or later, the system
administrator at the source depot machine can set this option to track which user pulls
which software from a depot on the source machine and when the software is pulled. (Note
that a user running swinstall/swcopy from a target machine cannot set this option;
only the administrator of the source depot machine can set it.)
When source_depot_audit is set to true,a swaudit.log file is created on the
source depot (for writable directory depots) or in /var/tmp (for tar images, CD-ROMs, or
other non-writable depots).
Users can invoke the swlist interactive user interface (using swlist -i -d) to view,
print, or save the audit information on a remote or local depot. Users can view audit infor-
mation based on language preference, as long as the system has the corresponding SD mes-
sage catalog files on it. For example, a user can view the source audit information in
