Re: [Veritas-bu] SuSE 10sp2

Interesting.

The following thread says in part:

“On further investigation, this stupidity is specific to SuSE and Gentoo
which have patched glibc to support mdns. Debian has an nss-mdns which
is the sane way to implement this functionality.

I didn’t find mdns even mentioned in host.conf man page for RHEL5.

Do you have multiple NIC on the systems?

We had an issue where the default outgoing path was not what NetBackup expected and had issues.

We modified the /etc/host.conf to include these lines:

multi on

mdns off

That did the trick…
