Getting "No permission to use 'host sequiv' authentication, must be root., Error : 1"

Hi,

My filer is running with 8.3.2P12 and I am using NMSDK 5.4 to connect to the filer and run some basic snapshot operations,

The problem I am facing is that I am getting the following error:

No permission to use 'hostsequiv' authentication, must be root., Error : 1

This error is intermittent and appears only sometime with different operations (e.g. sometimes with lun-get-iter or volume-create)

I am accessing the filer with port 443/HTTPS

Thanks

Mudit
