[SunHELP] SMC Authentication Weirdness?

[Derek Warren]

I have an Ultra 1 and an SS20 that I've been trying to get to act as 
a diskless server and client, respectively.  I'm using a fresh 
install of Solaris 9 on the Ultra but when I run smosservice (or 
smdiskless, or smlog...) and authenticate wither as a privileged user 
or as root, I'm refused like so:

Loading Tool: com.sun.admin.osservermgr.cli.OsServerMgrCli from host.name
Login to host.name as user root was successful.
Authentication failed to the Solaris Management Console server: host.name

I tried to give root extra privileges through wbemadmin but no such luck.

Of course, I'm *supposed* to be able to just install the diskless 
client services through WBEM/SMC (blech) but there are no services to 
add.. did I miss something really, really big here? :)  I even did a 
fresh installation using the 'Entire Distribution plus 64-bit 
support' set.

Any pointers, tips or clue bats would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Derek
