Yes bpclntcmd -hn hostname cuts off the last digit when issued from the
5.1MP6 Solaris 9 Master Server. I noticed it with MP6. NB_5.1MP6 clients
that I tested return the right IP address.

Has anyone ever seen BPCLNTCMD -HN truncate the IP address?

For instance, the IP in the hosts file is 10.10.10.100 and BPCLNTCMD
looks like this:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin <mailto:rmajor@:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin> >
./bpclntcmd -hn hostname
host hostname: hostname at 10.10.10.10 (0xabcde0)
checkhname: aliases:

I have at least two boxes that this is happening on, first one is above,
the other is .200 and comes out as .20 in bpclntcmd, and of course they
are failing with a 54. The only correlation I can draw between these two
is that they were new additions to the existing hosts file. Other hosts
entries are fine and backups are successful.

This is a new Solaris 10 media server that is barely in production and
nsswitch.conf lists files first. NBU 5.1MP6. A quick internet search
turned up nothing. Any ideas?
