This is a hostname/security "feature" of Networker.  You have a client
named "sornex" that responds to the Networker server request on that
hostname, but reports back as being "sornex1.mmc-sil.com"  Since those
names are different, Networker denies the save.

Put "sornex1.mmc-sil.com" in the Aliases field for the sornex entry, and
this should fix it.  On Windows clients, we noticed the NetBIOS name for
the machine factors in as well in the same way (ie: if the hostname
isn't the same as the networker name isn't the same as the netbios name
for a given machine, you need to list all its monikers in the Aliases
field.

I'm really hoping v7 has hostkey based authentication instead of
hostname, but I haven't gotten a confirmation of that.
