I am still getting the same problem from a different machine:
- could the wget request be requiring me to "Accept" the license agreement or is this simply not accepting my login?
- I can login using a web browser to sunsolve and download the patch 119254-70
- this system can resolve sunsolve.sun.com & ping it.
- I created ".out" files for:
showrev -p >showrev.out
uname -a >uname.out
pkginfo -x >pkginfo.out
- copied the .out files into a directory on the remote system.
- I ran pca from within that directory.
bash-3.00$ ~/pca --askauth -f . -d installed

Derek,
Thanks for the confirmation that an email address works as the user name.
I'll keep poking around.
- One other item is that the system I am running pca from has limited internet access and I have an entry in hosts for sunsolve.
192.18.108.40 sunsolve.sun.com
- I will see if I can locate a system outside of my lab and try my account.
Thanks,
Bill

My online account is also an email address in the form,
first.last at company.com
and it works. You could try the -a switch to force it to prompt you for the password, as needed.
