If nsrlcpd doesn't start you might have an issue with your storage node
config...

On the storage node you need both the client and storage node packages.. The servers file on the storage node has to have the server in it, maybe
that's not right...

For all your clients, you must have the *server* in their servers file -
not much value in having the storage node listed.


If all looks good - then perhaps the fact that fqdn's are being reported
in the log may point to an issue with dns - your client records -
including the client record for the sn should be unqualified names, the
fqdn's should be in the aliases list for the client though.

Networker is very touchy with dns because it relies a lot on dns reverse
lookups.

Just in case its not clear, any change to the /nsr/res/servers file must be followed by restarting the NetWorker software on the system where the change was made.
