This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hello to everybody,
I need your help.. I would to delete an entry into bp.conf file on a lot of unix hosts.
Is it possible using the "bpsetconfig" ? or with this command i can only add/update a "new" configuration ?
In this last case how can i delete this entry?
bp.conf before:
CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 1800
LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT = 1800
Buffer_Size = 256
bp.con after:
CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 1800
LIST_FILES_TIMEOUT = 1800
Many thanks to everybody
R.

I cannot find any reference to Buffer_Size as being a valid bp.conf entry.
Seems you will have to manually edit client's bp.conf to remove this entry.

It seems that the entry "Buffer_Size = 256" *is* a valid entry in-so-much as bpsetconfig *will* allow you to add that value into the bp.conf of a client (tried other spurious entries which *did not*).
Did a little testing & it is a straight-forward *fix*
Using a file myfile.lis with an entry of Buffer_Size = 256 the following command updated the bp.conf of the client with that entry:
bpsetconfig -h client <path-to-file>/myfile.lis
Changing the entry in bpconf.lis to Buffer_Size = & re-running the same command removes the entry from the bp.conf on the client.
Just script it if you've more than a handful of clients to amend.

Hello,
i tried with your suggestion but unfortunately the problem persist. I think that the only solution is to delete manually the entry into each bp.conf
Curious in that I managed to get it to work.
Any format or typos issues in your "Buffer_Size =" entry? That's the only reason I can think of at the moment why it doesn't work.

I tried with
Buffer_size = "
Buffer_size = ""
#Buffer_size =
whit the same result.. The entry is still present..
Seems Andy had success with:
Buffer_Size =

With this entry
Buffer_Size =
the entry is deleted if the target host is a windows server... but it doesn't work with unix server ( in my case Linux RH and AIX server.. ) the parameter become "0"
It is very strange..
As you say, strange.
Just tried: Master - Solaris 9 -> Client RHEL without issue (previously Solaris9 -> Solaris 10)
NB6.5.6 throughout (sssshh, keep *that* quiet!)

Nothing..
I tried with a linux and an Aix O.S. but the entry Buffer_Size become = 0
That's unfortunate.
Looks like you'll have to do it 'long-hand' then ......
