I am trying to make an installable image of one of my clients on the server. I do "smit startup" and select the "Backup System" option. I am getting the following message when I execute the command: auth_get: auth_des create failure For backup device or file I am specifying a path to a file. The path is to a file system that is mounted via NFS. Here is the command that smit is executing: mkszfile -f'' && mksysb '/inst.images/risc_sys6000/3.1/clients/bos.obj1' Please send mail to murphy@cs.uiuc.edu. If there are requests, then I will post a summary. -Mick
