[pca] pca: Failed (unknown file type)

[Evan Bradley]

Hello,

I've just installed pca on a SUN Blade 1000 running Solaris 10 U4.
I'm getting the following when trying to download and install missing
patches on this machine:

[CODE]

[248-root at machine_name-/path/to/pca] pca.pl -i --user=<my_username>

[/CODE]


I've verified that the username and password are both correct, as I
can log into sunsolve.com with no problems.  I've also tried
specifying the username and password in the same command as above, and
using the interactive approach, but the result is the same.  The pca
script itself is stored on the network, and not on the local
machine...should that matter?

I can post the verbose output of the above command tomorrow if it is desired.


thanks,


Evan
