In regard to: [Networker] Installing 7.3 server with NMC on RHEL4, Scott...:

So I'm setting up Networker 7.3 server on RHEL4 and the Install Guide says that Sun jre 1.5.2_06 is required for RHEL 4. I've downloaded and installed 1.5.0_06 which appears to be the most current available jre for Linux on the Sun Java site. Grand.

You mean 1.4.2_06.  Isn't it included in the Legato download?  That's part
of the reason why it's huge, in comparsion to older releases.

If not, try

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/index.jsp

1.4.2_11 looks to be the latest, and will likely work.

I think I was just seriously confused at the directions of the NW 7.3 Linux Install Guide. Apparently when installing NW 7.3 on a RHEL 4 system that will be both the NMC _server_ and _client you must install the included 1.4.2_06 jre AND the 1.5.0 jre. The 1.5.0 jre seems to be required on RHEL4 systems that will be a NWC client but does not seem to be required on RHEL4 systems that will be a NWC server.

Wow.

Now in reality we don't run a gui or a web browser on our Linux servers. That's pretty much a Windows concept in my view of the world. ;) So for RHEL4 and NW 7.3 ignore all the instructions about needing jre 1.5.0 and install the included jre 1.4.2 as directed.

Then on your NMC 'clinet', presumably a different physical system, fire up your web browser and connect to http://server.hostname.tld:9000/ and login as normal. To do this you must be using jre 1.4.2 or for RHEL4 clients jre 1.5.0.

At least that's my current read at untangling the instructions in the Linux Install Guide. Maybe it was only me, but I hope this helps out some other RHEL4 user down the road. :)
