dcmbrown Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 We run a Mac OS 9 version of Reterospect 5.0.xxx. All of of backup clients are Mac OS X machines. One of these machines I cannot seem to add to a new backup set that's been created because I cannot login to the machine. I don't get a user prompt for it, just the password box. Despite entering the current password for it, Reterospect can't login to the machine and connect to the backup client software. The problem I believe is that the system has been renamed half a dozen times, and the root user has also been renamed a couple of times as well. I've changed everything back to what I thought was the correct settings but still can't get in. The client name in Configure->Clients->Add Clients is one of the old names for the machine. Is there a caching problem somewhere? How do I resolve this? It seems I cannot Forget the machine as it's not actually part of the backup client set. Right now it's just a machine listed on the network I cannot login to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmelkus Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I had this issue, and it turned out to be that I had another instance of Retro client installed on the OSX client in question. I don't remember if it was the old one, from under OS9, or just a lame install on OSX, but there is info somewhere here (sorry,don't have the link) that if you remove any and all of the RETRO install info, and then do a clean install according to instructions provided by the proper client, it cleared up my issue which was precisely the symptoms you are describing. Hope that helps. Schmelkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
