You have not included the error or any of the symptoms of your
difficulty, but I will try to help. 

I seem to recall the sed syntax in the NetView release notes not
working for me under AIX at least...something with the quoting of the
sed expression as I recall.

Here's what I use--I specifically replace the backslashes preceeding
legal hostname characters that are non-alphanumeric:


############################################################################
# replace \- \. and \_  with - . and  _  respectvely. Required for
# security efix
############################################################################
hostname=$(/usr/bin/echo "$hostname" | /usr/bin/sed 's:\\\([-\._]\):\1:g')
