Indeed, they have many missing dependencies, like new versions of glibc, etc. I suppose I will either rebuild 2.4.2p2 from scratch for 6.2, or try to figure out why 2.4.1p1 stopped working in the first place. It does not seem to be a NAT or firewall issue, because it works for the remote machine, just not localhost. I am going to try to trick it by NFS mounting a directory on another remote machine, then backing up the directory on that machine. Ben -- Ben Hitz, Ph.

This doesn't appear to make any difference, although I admit it's strange to have localhost return a FQDN.

Upgrade to 2.4.2p2
All - I am considering upgrading to 2.4.2p2 from 2.4.1p1 to attempt to diagnose some network problems. I am currently running a Linux (RedHat6.2) server, with itself and an Irix (6.5.3) client. Oddly, the Irix client works fine, but not the localhost linux box. It also "used to work" with the same configuration, but different networking (had to replace a Northpoint DSL with Covad - this is roughly when it stopped working). Can I upgrade seamlessly to 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 - or will I have to reconfigure? Will it save all old tapelists, etc. Can I run a 2.4.1 client on a 2.4.2 server? I plan on using the RedHat7.1 RPMS - although this is not necessarily the recommended installation path (e.g, you must use tar). It does allow me to keep track of installed software better.
