[Networker] Cloning Auth Failures in 7.4.4?

We only use /etc/hosts files for production connections & backup (including all 
PC servers covered by backup).

So unfortunately that's not the case in our environment.

Note - DNS is enabled on our 'Dev' servers, but we still have the backup 
systems in /etc/hosts (and nsswitch file says to use hosts first).
