moin admins,

we have (again) a problem with networker save and restore.

our installation:
  server: networker 5.5.2 Build 165 Turbo/4
  client: the same patched version ...
  everything on patch-free digital unix 4.0d

the server backs up 4 clients (including himself) and everything
did run ok up to the crash last friday (power blackout). afterwards
two of the clients didn't save anymore - two (including server)
still do nicely. the error-msgs are appended at the end of the mail.

i read the dokumentation and finally testedthe ports with rpcinfo:

output on working client:
    [...]
    390113 1 tcp 7937 nsrexec
on non-working clients this line does not appear.

restarting the nsrexecd didn't help. and i get no errors in the messages
or syslog.dated. what could possibly be the problem and what can i do?

thanx in advance - i'll write a summary,
andreas bunten


a sample error-msg in the summary-mails:
