The School of Electrical Engineering at Cornell is trying to integrate
FreeBSD into its unix network.  We currently use the Legato Networker
automated archival software to back up the unix network.  There is a
linux port of the client daemon for the Legato Networker.  We would like
to run this deamon under Linux emulation mode.  We have been unable to
successfully install and run this software on a FreeBSD 2.2 system.  

The installer did not work because it did not recongize the operating
system, so I placed the executables in /usr/local/networker and placed
the name of the backup server in /.rhosts and placed in /etc/rc.local
the following lines

# Start up NetWorker client daemon (added 11/8/95)
#
if [ -f /usr/local/networker/nsrexecd ]; then
        (echo  'starting NetWorker client daemon:')     >/dev/console
        (/usr/local/networker/nsrexecd -s clove)        >/dev/console
2>&1
        (echo  ' nsrexecd')             >/dev/console
        (echo '')                               >/dev/console
fi

Attempts to backup the FreeBSD client fail.  

If you are using Legato Networker on a FreeBSD system successfully,
please inform me of the correct configuration.

Best regards,
Matthew Shoemake
