James,
You are exactly
correct on the remote root login. I can however SSH and SFTP into the box
remotely as myself and su to root. That being said, if I knew what files to move
over and what to execute, I should be fine, I think?
Thanks,

installation?
A manual install via ftp to transfer files and then
running scripts as root on the target box is possible, but I do not believe
that it is documented. It's also rather complicated.
Most shops prohibit rexec because they don't want you logging in as root
remotely. But you are going to have to be root on the target box for the
installation to work, so the issue is actually moot. Since there is little
difference between rexec and letting you telnet in as root, I suggest you ask
your folks for an exemption for the rexec prohibition only long enough to get
the software installed.
If that's not feasible, then I suggest a call to IBM Support in the hopes that
they can get you a procedure.

[nv-l] Trapgend
installation?
|
|
Is there a way, to install trapgend outside of the
prescribed methods of Tivoli Desktop or nv6000_smit method? Our security
requirements prohibit the use of rexec which I believe both of these methods
utilize. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
