Hi,

one of my lovely ;-) users created a directory named "*", very clever.
On my HP 9000/K100 ADSM client (2.1.03) the backup process halted:


17:08:07  ANS4304W Active object not found
17:08:07  TcpRead: Error reading data, rc: 232
17:08:07  sessRecvVerb: Error -50 from call to 'readRtn'.
17:08:07  ANS4017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure

17:08:07  ANS4847E Scheduled event 'HPUXBACKUP' failed.  Return code= 1.

Has anybody got an idea why ADSM ended with TCP/IP connection failure?
Why can ADSM simply ignore and go on?

Our network specialists could not detect any problems during the ADSM
session!

After removing the directory "*" everything worked fine again.

Take care of your users and remove all wildcards in directories.

Oliver
