Hows this for funny, the only person in the whole company who can't get his
workstation to backup is the backup operator! :-)
Basically I installed Mandrake 7.2 a few weeks back, and got it nicely tweaked,
then went to setup the amanda clinet. We're using 2.4.2. Mandrake 7.2 uses
xinetd. I've configured /etc/xinetd.d/amanda as follows:
service amanda
{
protocol = udp
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = backup
group = disk
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
server_args = amandad
}
The amdump email states:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
hound.dsl. /boot lev 0 FAILED [disk /boot offline on hound.dsl.net?]
hound.dsl. /usr lev 0 FAILED [disk /usr offline on hound.dsl.net?]
hound.dsl. /home lev 0 FAILED [disk /home offline on hound.dsl.net?]
hound.dsl. / lev 0 FAILED [disk / offline on hound.dsl.net?]
And /tmp/amanda/sendsize.debug says
sendsize: debug 1 pid 19480 ruid 501 euid 501 start time Tue Nov 21 00:59:13 2000

Any ideas?
