4.4.8 Source Depot Auditing
If both the source and target systems are 10.30 or later versions of HP-UX, you can use
swlist to audit the depot. The system administrator at the source depot machine can
turn the audit functionality on or off. This feature tracks users and their software
selections. In addition, you can determine when depots are being used.
As the administrator, you must set to true the value of
swagent.source_depot_audit in the /var/adm/sw/defaults file for swagent.
This creates a swaudit.log file on the source depot (for writable directory depots)
or in /var/tmp(for tar image, CD-ROM, or other non-writable depots). This works
like swagent.logfor source depot.
You can view the audit files by typing swlist -i -d. As long as the system has the
corresponding SD message catalog files on it, you can view the audit information on
a remote/local depot (with your language preference set).
4.4.9 Verifying a Depot (swverify -d)
To can use the swverify command to verify the software within a depot. swverify
performs these tasks:
• Verifies that all dependencies (prerequisites or corequisites) can be met.
• Reports missing files.
• Checks file attributes, including permissions, file types, size, checksum, mtime,
and major/minor attributes.
For example, to verify the entire contents of a local depot:
