Oh, yesterday, I accidently installed 7.1.1 (or something, the latest one) and
jbconfig worked fine. When I realized that, and noticed how I *have* to
install the same version of Networker on the Linux server (target) as the one
on the Solaris server (source), I removed 7.1.x and installed 6.1.1.
If I can't use 6.1.1, then how will a migration AND an upgrade from 6.1.1 to
7.1.x work? Is that even possible? Can I use the version of jbconfig that
comes with 7.1.x to configure the library/drive for use on 6.1.1?
/me reaches for his gun and contemplates playing russian roulette
