Hello.  We are running IBM Transarc DCE/DFS 2.0 CPL 5 on Sun Solaris 2.6 for
our DFS file exporters, and using ADSM on AIX for our ADSM server with the
DFS "buta" add-on (AIX "lslpp -i" info: adsm.butadfs.client.aix42 3.1.20.6).

This has been working "peachy" for us for some time, but lately the backups
("bak" processes) just seem to sit there on the AIX server, not doing
anything.  Some log entries:


[/var/info/adsmserver.log]

#define ECONNRESET      73      /* Connection reset by peer */



I just wondered if anyone had seen this sort of thing before and has any
suggestions?

Thanks.
