sd.5 (2011 03)

s
sd(5) sd(5)
when using the ncacn_ip_tcp protocol sequence.
Applies to all commands except
swpackage and swmodify
.
run_as_superuser=true
This option controls SD’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated as true)
when the invoking user is super-user.
When set to the default value of true, SD operations are performed normally, with per-
missions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by SD ACLs. (See
swacl (1M) 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.
• 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 sys-
tem or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide , available at the
http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs
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Displays or hides superseded patches in swlist output.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swlist will not display superseded patches even if you perform a swlist command
on the superseded patch. Setting this option to true permits display of superseded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 bun-
dle 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 following 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.
