I have a SunOS 4 client that I'm having a little problem with. I was hoping
someone could give me a hand figuring out. I get errors that the machine
isn't completing its backup set. It seems to be a problem with DNS. Here's
the error:



ss2.eyeml.queensu.ca:/a 2 retries attempted

  ss2.eyeml.queensu.ca:/a: No full backups of this save set were found in
the media database; performing a full backup

* ss2.eyeml.queensu.ca:/a save: unknown host name: dmstore.eyeml.queensu.ca

* ss2.eyeml.queensu.ca:/c 2 retries attempted

  ss2.eyeml.queensu.ca:/c: No full backups of this save set were found in
the media database; performing a full backup

* ss2.eyeml.queensu.ca:/c save: unknown host name: dmstore.eyeml.queensu.ca



If I'm on the client (ss2) I can ping the server by its shortname. If I use
the FQDN it comes back with "unknown host". I know how to fix this under
Solaris but I know SunOS 4 is different as it uses NIS for DNS resolution.
Anyone have any ideas?
