registered before software may be installed or copied from it. This check is always performed
before granting access, except when swinstall is run by the local superuser.
NOTE: Registration of a depot does not enforce any access restrictions. Access enforcement is
left to SD security (see Chapter 9: “SD-UX Security ” (page 145)). Registration with swreg requires
insert permission in the host’s ACL.
4.3.3 Authorization
To register a new depot or to unregister an existing depot, swreg requires read permission on
the depot in question and insert permission on the host. To unregister a registered depot, the swreg
command requires write permission on the host. See Chapter 9: “SD-UX Security ” (page 145) for
more information on permissions.
