Et al ...


I've detailed proposed solutions for later patches (i.e. 110934-24) which 
I've found to work, and also referenced known solutions for previous 
patches.  Please let me know if this works for you and also correct me 
where I'm wrong


Problem
Executing the UnixInstallScript fails with CPshrd-54 permission/access 
errors (even with installation directory: chown -R root:root *).  The 
reason is due to modifications on the program pkgadd done by patch 
110934-20 and later ) for Solaris 8 (later patches execute request scripts 
as "noaccess".  Patch 110934-20 (pkgadd) executes request scripts as 
"noaccess", previous packaging patch used to run scripts as "nobody"


I've found the following solution works with later patches i.e. 110934-24.
i.e.  Make the following temporary modifications to the "noaccess" entry 
and restore original entry after the installation of VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG 
with AI
1) vi /etc/passwd
2) noaccess:x:0:1:No Access User:/:
3) Complete the installation of VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG with AI
4) vi /etc/passwd
5) noaccess:x:60002:60002:No Access User:/:


Regarding older patches i.e. 110934-20, the following solution is a 
workaround, however, this solution does not seem to work for newer patches 
to pkgadd
https://secureknowledge.checkpoint.com/SecureKnowledge/login.do?OriginalAction=solution&id=sk30333
1) Remove patch 110934-20 by running the command:
2) patchrm 110934-20
3) Reboot the machine
4) Complete the installation of VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG with AI
5) Reboot the machine
6) Reinstall patch 110934-20 by running the command:
7) patchadd 110934-20
8) Reboot the machine
