hi andrew, thank you for your reply. after about 48 hours of pondering, researching, and testing how to get this working, i changed gears earlier today and tried the linux version of the netbackup client (with compat_linux). as i did with compat_freebsd, i followed the man page closely, and much to my surprise, the linux version of the client worked on the first shot. i left off on the freebsd libraries where ldd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd would specify that it could not find its 4 libraries, then ldconfig-freebsd -r|grep libkvm would that that /usr/lib/libkvm.so.2 (the exact version bpcd was specifying actually, and found under /emul/freebsd/) was sucessfully loaded into the library cache. this setting held thru a reboot after a ldconfig-freebsd -m /usr/lib. i ended up throwing my arms in the air on that one, which i hated doing (yuck... a linux binary! ewww! *wink*) cheers, jonathan
