example, attempts to add local users to the access list will, in fact, grant
access to remote users. There is no way to alter the default realm of an
ACL from that set when it is created.
Another common problem with such images occurs if you import them to
systems that cannot resolve all the hostnames (see resolver(4) and
nslookup(1)) that exist in the ACLs.
If your purpose is to create a “staged” installation, use swcopy to
propagate the depot. This creates new ACLs, based on local templates,
for each instance of the depot.
If the sole intent of a depot is for such image distribution, you may wish
to set the swpackage create_target_acls option to false to prevent
ACL creation on the depot and products during the swpackage operation.
This option creates tape and CD-ROM images. Depots and products
without ACLs grant the local superuser all privileges, while all other
users and systems have read access. Note that when you copy or install
this ACL-less depot with swcopy or swinstall, the copies (installations)
are automatically protected by ACLs based on templates on the
destination host.
