Has anyone else had this? Ruediger, did you raise a Tech Support call?

What is your /etc/hosts entry. Try two names for each server:- nn.nn.nn.nn server server.full.domain I've had issues where the full domain isn't specified and although you can seem to get from one server to the other, you don't seem to be able to get back ! Might be worth trying Keith

Changing the /etc/nsswitch.conf file files dns to files *did* fix it, although I can't use that solution because it screws other aplications up. I'm pretty sure its a bug. I've a test server to build up a proper case when I get time. cheers Neil
