Authentication problem
Hi,
I am running a Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a SPARC. After registering using the sconadm command
sconadm register -a -r /tmp/registrationprofile.properties
I started the update manager as root but it gives me the follwoign exception on starting
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "ARG RUN STDIN KILL END"

and i am unable to do anything on the update manager
The ps -ef shows that the following command is running
/usr/bin/java -client -jar /usr/lib/patch/swupdate.jar
which doesnt complete successfully. I am new to solaris and would appreciate any pointers
Thanks

That's a very old 5.0 version, I'd recommend updating to at least 1.5.0_06. Can't say it will affect this particular problem but there are a lot of bugs fixed since then.
