I assume this one is obvious. You need to enable read/write permission
to the tape device for the Amanda user. Typically this is done by putting
the device in the same group as the Amanda user and enabling group access.
Or you could put the Amanda user in whatever group owns the device.

This is coming from a recvfrom() system call. According to my (Solaris)
documentation, ECONNREFUSED is **not** one of the errors it can return.
So you'll have to look up in your own OS documentation for what situations
can cause that and possibly ask your OS support for help.
My guess would be some kind of TCP wrappers or firewall.
The following folks have reported the same error recently (within a
couple of months):
C. Vijaya Lakshmi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Joe Prochazka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Iain O'Cain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Jeff Silverman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
but I don't see any responses that indicate what the solution was,
if they ever got it working.
