[osol-help] pfexec pkg image-update fails when not root.

[Chris Gerhard]

If I run the pkg command using pfexec then it always fails despite me being the 
primary administrator.  If I su then it always works.

cjg at principia:~/Desktop$ pfexec pkg image-update

    pkg.opensolaris.org: node name or service name not known
cjg at principia:~/Desktop$ pfexec su -

      All:

cjg at principia:~/Desktop$ 

Any ideas?
