Remove configurations
You can remove the Safeguard Server or Sudo Plugin configurations by using the –u option with the following commands:
- pmsrvconfig to remove the Safeguard Server configuration
- pmjoin_plugin to remove the Sudo Plugin configuration
Take care when you remove the configuration from a policy server, particularly if the policy server is a primary server with secondary policy servers in the policy group, as agents joined to the policy group will be affected.

Upgrade Safeguard for Sudo
Safeguard for Sudo supports a direct upgrade installation from version 2.0. The Safeguard software in this release is provided using platform-specific installation packages.
If you are currently running Privilege Manager for Unix 2.0, it may be possible to perform a direct upgrade installation depending on the package management software on your platform (Note: Direct upgrade installations are not possible with Solaris.pkg packages). If you perform a direct upgrade installation, your previous configuration details are retained. Where a direct upgrade is not possible, you must first remove the previously installed package, and install and configure Safeguard as a new product installation.
