Required packages for sconadm

Question

Hello,
Could someone please post a list of required packages to register a LPS using sconadm through an http proxy. I am using a 6/06 sparc build based on the "Reduced Network Core" cluster.
I cannot find the info in any documentation and not everybody installs every package on the distribution CD's. So far I have found 13 authentication-type packages and their prerequisites. Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous? Why doesn't sconadm's package have the pre-req packages defined?
Thanks,
Jeff

I am a long-time avid Sun evangelist, but I have to say, this issue with the patches have given me the greatest headache I have ever had from Sun.
I really wish you would go back to allowing us to download at least the minimum recommended clusters until you figure this whole patch management thing out. (ie: 10_Recommended.zip). It was a VERY easy way for us System Administrators to keep all of our systems on the same rev level and on our own schedule.
Anyways, the lists here seem to be correct except for ONE missing package, at least on the 06/06 release of Solaris 10.
I was still hanging running the 'sconadm register -a -r /tmp/reg' until I added the package 'SUNWjdmk-base'
After installing that package along with the others listed above I was able to get my 'SUNWCreq' cluster to install and register using sconadm. I do have other packages installing, so I cannot guarantee that there is not other dependancies.
Here is a full list of additional packages I'm installing as part of my Jet build (SUNWCreq+):

I hope this helps!
Sun, just remember, most of your boxes are "Servers" and any Sys. Admin worth his weight, will not install a User cluster on their server and there are plenty of us small/medium size business that aren't ready to move up to a full N1 implementation and only manage < 20 servers.
