Ok I found this:
14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] #----> more /etc/inet/ipnodes
#
# Internet host table
#
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
which might explain the problem! I found a reference to the ipnodes file on
the man page for getaddrinfo:
FILES
/etc/inet/hosts
host name database
/etc/inet/ipnodes
local database that associates names of nodes with IP
addresses
/etc/netconfig
network configuration database
/etc/nsswitch.conf
configuration file for the name service switch
and I'd never given any thought to the ipnodes file before. 8-) I have
commented out the lines referring to "::1 localhost" in
/etc/inet/ipnodes on all three of the Solaris systems and will see what
happens in just over two hours when the next cron-scheduled run of 'amdump'
occurs.
I don't use IPv6 on any of my systems, but it's possibly a hangover from
originally installing Solaris as there's an option to 'enable' IPv6 when
installing Solaris. I don't have an /etc/hostname6.hme0 on the tape server
host though it could have had that at some stage in the past. Maybe partial
IPv6 support stays enabled in the kernel even when the ipv6 version of the
/etc/hostname file doesn't exist...
I'll let you know if the new discovery solves the problems that have been
occuring.
Craig.
