Between the DNS issues and deleting and recreating the client you are
probably saving the index to a different name. 

Do you see the index being saved after the backup? If so run the
following command:

Mminfo -r 'clientid' -q'client=clientname' 

If nothing shows up try using the long name or some alias client name
you started with. Once you find it you have to do the following. 

Copy and paste the clientid for the current client defined. Delete this
client. Create a dummy client and paste in the clientid you just saved. 
Now create your client with the name you want to use and paste in the
clientid you found from the mminfo command.

Subject: [Networker] client is not getting index entries written...

Gaahh...this system is driving me crazy.

Networker 7.2, running on Solaris.

I've got a couple of clients (specifically Linux), they I can back up 
fine, but no index data is being saved, so the results are not
browsable.

There were various reverse lookup issues, etc. which I have fixed, but 
still no joy. I tried deleting and recreating the client entries as 
well. I don't receive any errors during the backup. The index directory 
exists, and contains the bare minimum files, but never gets updated.

What commands might I be able to use to try and track down why the index

data is not getting saved? I've never really seen this before until I 
came here... :(
