philmc Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Had Linux client installed in RH Enterprise 5.1 and it was working fine. Recently had to do a fresh install of the RH system because of some problems with update patches. After the RH reinstall, I installed the Retrospect client using retroclient-70.rpm. Am using Retro server for Mac 6.1. Trying to do the first login for the linux client and keep getting the 206 - duplicate activator code error. Have de and reinstalled the linux client a couple of times. The retro server sees the linux boc fine in the network pane but can't get it logged in. Ideas? philmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The problem is not on the client; it's on Retrospect server, which sees you trying to install a client with an already in-use license code. Forget the old client in Retrospect Mac 6.1 and then add the installed client. Is there a reason that you posted this thread in the Retrospect Windows forum? I don't see any mention of Windows being used... Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I am really confused. Error 206 is a Media Failure error and not a Duplicate Activator code error. Duplicate activator code may happen on linux clients with multiple IP addresses. You may need to force the client to bind to a specific IP address.

philmc Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) My error - it was 506. I should move this topic over to the macintosh Forum. Sorry to trouble everyone. phil mc Edited March 26, 2008 by Guest topic was moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmc Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I neglected to mention that the old client was "forgot" Retrospect Mac 6.1, so that that wouldn't be the cause of duplication. phil mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philmc Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi Robin, Thanks for the reply. That box only has one IP address assigned. It is pretty much configured to run as it was before (which had the client operational). There have been some OS update patches though. There are two 1000 BT interfaces on the box. Only one is active. I checked via the network GUI/ifconfig that the other interface is DHCP but is down and no cable is installed. Still get 506 error. I will restart the box for good measure, but I am not optimistic. phil mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmc Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 After restart of the RHE 5.1 machine - still see the 506 error on the Mac Retro 6.1 server. I see the client waiting to login in the linux network client pane . The java GUI on the RH machine shows waiting for first login. phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewA Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I would still try binding the client to the IP address as I have seen where there is only one IP address but binding the client to that IP fixed that specific error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmc Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Andrew. Well it was certainly worth a try - but I feel I am missing something obvious in the execution. I searched the forums here for the syntax, and also pulled up the man page. As root in the bash shell - in dantz/client directory: #retroclient -ip xx.xx.xx.xx and got a command not found. I see the executable in the directory. What is the obvious I am missing? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmc Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Just a note of thanks and for closure on this item. This is what finally worked: killed the existing retrospect client running on the box. Edited the startup file in /etc/init.d/rcl to include the argument "-ip xx.xx.xx.xx". Then manually started the service by typing, # /etc/init.d/rcl start It's now running as a daemon with that argument in force. Was then able to do the first login using Retro 6.1 on MacOSX.
