Hello Robert,

I tried again today and this time it worked :)

However the entire process is slightly too much complicated imho.

It would be much more user firendly if one could do something like:

# pkg set-autority -O https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extras

This authority needs registering first. Please provide your user name
and password and then accept the license terms.

login: ****
password: ****

License ....
....
...

Accept/Deny: (Accept)

done!



And it will download, install all keys, etc. for user automatically.


Eventually some repositories like the above one could be
pre-configured and then user would need to do 'pkg authority register
extras' and go thru the same questions as above.
Both ways should also work from Package Manager too.
