Determines the type of protocol used to
distribute the client portion of the Electronic
Service Agent program to selected monitored
machines. The following protocols are
available:
FTP This protocol is most frequently
used. FTP prompts for a root
authority ID and password. It uses
the supplied password for
transferring files using Java FTP
protocol and running installation
processes using the rexec.
RSH The RSH protocol must be
configured to allow access for the
svcagent user ID on the Electronic
Service Agent gateway server to
access the client system. One way
to do this is to add to the .rhost file
in the root directory the entry
<gateway> svcagent where
<gateway> is the hostname of the
Electronic Service Agent gateway
server or forwarding system to
which the client is connecting.
DSH The DSH protocol allows the
gateway to create nodes using the
Distributed Shell system.
