Nope, it's Redhat Linux 7.3 with python 2.2 installed.

(the 'SUNlocal' directory is mounted by Solaris nodes, but Solaris don't 
play any role in the backup procedure)

Result seems to be ok :

address@hidden ~]$ python2.2
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Jan 30 2003, 21:26:22)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-112)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import errno
>>> errno.EIO
5
>>> errno.errorcode[5]
'EIO'
>>>


feel free to ask if you need futher informations or actions from me.
