I prepared my "golden master" G5 mac with 10.4.11 and all

This worked without any problem. I restored this image from my
Firewire HD to several other G5 with Netrestore 3.3.6. This worked
well except Software Update: This function is dead on the restored
target macs. Clicking on the button under the Apple Menu does
nothing, using this function within System Preferences launches a
search for Updates, but gives no results. Strange. The golden master
G5 does not show this behavior.
I checked the console log and found the following error message on
the target mac:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder: CG/
CPS: The application 'com.apple.creatorcode.swup' at '/System/
Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software
Update' is not permitted to launch because it is in the list of
disallowed applications.\n
Why is it disallowed?
Where is this list?
How can i correct this?

Are you managing your clients through OD? That is generally the
method used to disallow access to applications, though I can't say
I've ever blocked software update before. If you are managing them,
just verify that user error hasn't caused the issue.
Have you repaired permissions on one of the afflicted machines to see
if it resolves the issue?
