[pca] Problem downloading patches with PCA on Solaris 10

[O'Flynn, Tom - Computing Technical Officer]

Hi everyone,

After much heartbreak trying to get solaris patching software working in
a manner that did not crash my servers I found links to PCA on the web.
As far as I can see the general consensus seems to be that this is the
best way to manage solaris patching. I have therefore downloaded the
script and it works find when scanning my servers but I cannot seem to
get it to download patches from sunsolve.com.

As I am only staring with PCA I have kept everything simple for now. The
contents of my /etc/pca.conf file are as follows:

 

user=%SOA username%

passwd=%password_for_above%

wget=/usr/sfw/bin/wget

wgetproxy=http://address_of_proxy_server:8080

 

A simple pretend install of missing security patches produces the
following output. It is probable that I'm missing something simple but I
can't see it. I would therefore be grateful for any help.

 

Thanks
