Well, I still think you should call Support for an updated procedure.
But if you aren't, then you can try to use the one I posted in 2002, which is available from the nv-l archives.

But be forewarned that with the later versions of AIX have made the errupdate test procedure invalid. The idiots at AIX won't let you notify on a operator message any longer.

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,

Subject: Re: [nv-l] Trapgend 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.

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
