    I am pushing the Agent to some Linux machines and I ran into a problem today were one fails because the prompt is too long? How can I get around this?

    I don't remember exactly about place of places for key, but can you change directory to more shortly path of .key in ULM Push settings page on SMP Console?

    I changed <InstallDir>/opt/altiris/notification/nsagent</InstallDir> to <InstallDir>/opt/altiris</InstallDir> and it is still giving me the same error.

    • You're using a SSH key file for push agent? What is a length of path to this key, since it says that it unable to open it?

    No SSH Key authorization, just password authorization. My SSH is unchecked like yours, I don't know why it has something in the logs about it but it uses the username anyways and logs in just fine. Can I bump the verbosity up somehow to see what the command line looks like when it tries to run?

    I should also mention I am using 7.5 HF5 and the client is on RHEL 6.5, which isn't on the official support matrix. I have been following this document however, and I don't see any known issues regarding this problem so I believe it should still install.

    On Push Install web page (SMP Console), choose manually type of OS (something near to this Linux version) and try to install it again.

    I've tried manually setting RHEL 6.4 and unsupported Linux but the logs indicate the same error each time.
