Gene-
I have no problem doing backups/restores on a fresh installation of MacOSX
10.4.1
My NBU master is solaris, NBU 5.0 MP4
I installed the NBU client software on my powerbook "tigertest" by doing the
following:
(1) configured a new NBU policy with "tigertest" listed as a client (MacOSX10.2)
(2) added "tigertest <ip-address>" to my master server /etc/hosts file
(3) enabled FTP in the 10.4.1 sharing prefpane (disabled it again after (4) )
(4) ran the following command on my master server:
install_client_files ftp tigertest <username>
(5) then ran the following command on tigertest:
sudo sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config
I could then do backups and restores all I liked, without a status 57 error
anywhere.
I now suspect that perhaps you UPGRADED this mac to 10.4? and that the NBU
client software that's currently installed is what was installed atop OSX
10.3.x?
If so, then I'm quite certain that the OSX upgrade blew away the xinetd
configuration files that the NBU client relies upon. (OSX upgrades are known
to
occasionally do stuff like this.... :-( )
If it's practical, I'd suggest you reinstall the NBU client on that mac, and
I bet things will start working for you. (ditto for your OSX Server running
10.4)
