Hi,
We are using the NIX Client Installer to deploy agents remotely on AIX machines. When we try the installation using an account with sudo provileges, the Client fails to start. It gives the following error:
Initialising…

Executing: echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | sudo -S mkdir -p /etc/opt/BESClient; mv /tmp/actionsite.afxm /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm
mv: /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm: Permission denied

Starting IBM Endpoint Manager: BESClient
Missing masthead /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm.
Client Installed: 9.0.649.0
Noticed that the tool uses the “sudo” privilege to create the BESClient directory, but not while moving the actionsite.afxm file to the BESClient folder:
echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | sudo -S mkdir -p /etc/opt/BESClient; mv /tmp/actionsite.afxm /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm
Please help.
