[Veritas-bu] New information added to "clients" file in NBU 3 .4 DC

I don't have a reason for disabling it, but I need to be able to 
programmatically rearrange the clients file.  Every few months or so I run a 
program which reads the statistics of the backups and creates a clients file in 
order of average longest running backups to shortest -- so that I make sure the 
long running backups get started first.

Can I just rearrange the file and stick the check sum in the current file back 
at the end?

VMD5_DIGEST is a checksum of the file.  If the checksum doesn't match the
contents of the file, NetBackup will assume the file is in error and will
attempt to "auto-correct" the values.

You cannot disable the checksumming.  Why would you want to?
