Software Distributor Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (5900-2488, September 2012)

• rpc_binding_info_source=

Defines the protocol sequences and endpoints used to contact a source depot. If

rpc_binding_info_source is not specified, rpc_binding_info is used. If both are specified,

rpc_binding_info_source is used.

Applies to swinstall and swcopy.

• rpc_binding_info_target=

Defines the protocol sequences and endpoints used to contact targets. If rpc_binding_info_target

is not specified, rpc_binding_info is used. If both are specified, rpc_binding_info_target is

used.

Applies to swinstall and swcopy.

• 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

” (page 145) 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.

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. This option is not compatible with remote operations. Setting this option to true forces

the autoremove_job option to true. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD-UX, see

Chapter 12: “Nonprivileged SD ” (page 231).
