Hello I uncommented the line and it still does not work is there anything 
special that i might need to do. i am using pkgutil 2.6.6


# Options to use for pkgadd
# You can set it to -S to skip displaying the license during install.
# Solaris 10: If you wish to limit pkgutil to installing packages
#             only to the global zone, set it to -G. Note that pkgrm
#             does not have the same option.
# WARNING: do not modify this unless you know what you're doing.
# Default: blank
pkgaddopts=-G -S
