If you screw up a system, don't blame it on me... This little tidbit came of working at a client who was completely firewall happy. They had firewalls between just about each and every network segment they had. In order to set up a swdepot server, I needed to limit the network ports which the swagent and swinstall commands would use. A google search didn't provide any useful information, but a search of itrc.hp.com did. The exact document ID is USDUXKBRC00011289. Here's the releent information. * On the depot server: * Edit the /sbin/init.d/swagentd startup script. Add:: RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS=ncacn_ip_tcp[2200-2205] to the top of the file. * Stop and restart the swagent service:: /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop; /sbin/init.d/swagentd start * On any system which will need to access the depot server, ensure the following two lines are in root's profile. :: RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS=ncacn_ip_tcp[2200-2205] export RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS
