Ndsrepair -N | Select a server from the list | Choose repair selected servers Network address or Repair all network addresses. The server will core.

Ndsrepair -U also causes a core because it runs through the same code path.

cause

The cause for this appears to be related to a build issue. This only happens on an AIX platform.  It occurs with the latest, shipping 8.7.3 Support Pack for AIX - SP7.

fix

A defect has been opened and should be fixed in a future eDirectory 8.7.3 Support Pack.

Work around: Create a hosts.nds file in the /etc/ directory with the servers DNS name and IP address see format below.
