Run:

# netstat -natpul|grep 13782

Is xinetd.d installed and running?
How did you install the client?

If xinetd is not installed, it may try /etc/inetd.conf, if neither are
installed or available, it probably will start it as standalone.

Here is the bpcd on a client:

$ cat bpcd
# Service bpcd for NetBackup
service bpcd
{
         socket_type             = stream
         protocol                = tcp
         wait                    = no
         user                    = root
         server                  = /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd
         disable                 = no
}


Run: /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep bpcd
         bpcd:           on

Make sure its on, if its not, enable it and restart xinetd, you will need
to kill off bpcd or cycle services too probably.

Justin.
