Hello,
Having some issues backing up Linux clients ( 32 bit 7.3.3.1,installed on 
Linux RH 5.1 ( 64 bit) Vm instance ) in an DMZ.
RH version of kernel is 2.6 and i am told this is SELinux.
I am getting inconsistence results where client backup on root vol are 
sometime successful but not on rest of the file systems.
SERVER:
Legato backup server is Windows 2003 64 bit Dell on Legato 7.3.3.
Firewalls:
DMZ firewall is active
Selinux Firewall rules disabled
ERRORS:
log file not found
connection refused
impersonation failed
Servers file:
Was created and applied to linux client, otherwise backup server is 
dependent on DNS name resolution
NSLOOOKUP from client to server is successful

I can confirm that daemons are running and client install is with default 
options,

RPC:
[root@rubiconweb1t /]# rpcinfo -p "servername"
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection 
refused
Questions: 
Is 32 bit client on 64 bit Linux OS supported ? ( i was told 64 bit 
version of Legato client crashes a lot)
What are the special consideration of SELinux and Legato Config
Has any one tested backup on Linux instance on Vmserver 3.02 OS ?
I do not have issues with Licensing.



Can someone point me in the right direction for troubleshooting.
