APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer received the following messages running the BBONMC
job:
BBOU0135E The NameSpace configuration has encountered an unknown
problem
BBOU0254E Unable to register / bind SingleLocation home for host
/:/lib:/WAS400/usr/lpp/java/IBM/J1.3/bin:/WAS400/usr/lpp/java/
IBM/J1.3/bin/classic:/WAS400/usr/lpp/WebSphere/lib:/db2/
db2710/lib
Notice the host name is really the libpath name.  From the
trace output, it shows that the request to BBONM actually
contained the libpath information instead of the host name.
The code shows the host name is retrieved from either the
SBBOEXEC(BBONCFG) member if it explicitly set, or it reads it
from the current.env associated with the NAMING01 server.
The customer's BBOCNFG was coded as follows (which is the
default):
;==============================================================
        NamingIDR
      IDRLocation=local
        Cells
      Cell1=Cell1
        Workgroups
      WorkGroup1=WG1
      PrimaryCell1=Cell1
        Hosts
      Host1=&DAEMON_IPNAME.
      PrimaryCell1=Cell1
Local fix
To get around the problem, code the Host1= to an explicit host
name (that matches the DAEMON_IPNAME)

****************************************************************
Customer ran naming bootstrap with default configuration file
BBOCNFG (host1=&DAEMON_IPNAME.)

The NameSpace configuration failed with error messages:

BBOU0135E: The NameSpace configuration has encountered an
unknown problem.
BBOU0254E: Unable to register / bind SingleLocation home for
host /:/lib:/WAS400/usr/..:/db2/db2710/lib.

The error log shows that the value of the host name (host1) was
NOT the expected value of &DAEMON_IPNAME. but the value of the
environment variable LIBPATH.
Problem conclusion
The hostname is either explicitly set in the configuration
file
e.g. sbboexec(BBONCFG)
         host1=BOSSxxxx.PLEX1.L2.IBM.COM
(this method works successfully)
or indirectly set, referring to the current.env of
the NAMING01 server,
e.g. sbboexec(BBONCFG)
         host1=&DAEMON_IPNAME.
with current.env containing
         DAEMON_IPNAME=BOSSxxxx.PLEX1.L2.IBM.COM
(this method fails)

The problem results because of incorrect usage of the C library
function getenv() in module bbosnfed.cpp, method getHostName.
Function getenv() is used to retrieve the value host1
(indirectly set via current.env). getenv() returns a pointer to
static storage owned by getenv() containing the value of the
environment variable.

The string that was returned was overwritten before use by a
subsequent call to getenv.

Therefore, bbosnfed.cpp was modified such that the string
returned by getenv() is saved into a local buffer.
