Re: Insufficient Privileges (svrmgrl)

I can tell you I succeeded, however. I was trying to run svrmgrl from the server itself. I went back to my client machine, connected telnet, set the evironment variables and connected.

I don't know if it was a fluke, but it worked. I guess it is worth a shot because it can do no harm.

Hope it helps!
