Ok, so that is fine. I then tried to run syspatch in a chroot on the diskless client's fileserver, which is a complete 6.1-release installation. This resulted in syspatch exiting without an error, but also without doing anything. After a bit of investigation, I found that it was becasuse the unpriv shell function generated an error upon invoking su: su: approval failure: Undefined error: 0 Is there no way to run syspatch in a chroot either?
