Back in 2010, I installed the 6.2 version of the 'sk' agent on a number of
Linux RHEL 5.2 32-bit systems. I performed the installation as a non-root
user, and had no problems that I can recall (there are no problems
mentioned in my build notes). The agent installation was performed using
the silent method, as were the TEMS and TEPS support installations.

In my case, all my TSM servers live in HA clusters, so I install the sk
agents on the hub TEMS servers and point them at the TSM service IP
addresses.

In the past, I have gone down more or less the same road Jay did, writing
custom UA's, and before that, custom ITM5 resource models, for TSM
monitoring. For me at least, the sk agent worked well enough that I didn't
need to do that this time.

I will be rebuilding all my Tivoli infrastructure from scratch after the
first of the year, so I'm sure I will be revisiting the issue then...
