Hi,
your suggestion partially worked. I added a line like :
ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1 128.197.61.90
in hosts.allow (the fact is that, with the release of xinetd, you can
filter packets based on the service that is being requested either with
the hosts.allow file or with the xinetd configuration files in
/etc/xinetd.d ... which I think is quite confusing!!!)
here is the output I get running "amcheck -c DailySet1" :
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
protocol packet receive: Connection refused
protocol packet receive: Connection refused
WARNING: raffaello: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 29.997 seconds, 1 problem found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1)
Going through the /var/log/messages file I have found the following
record :
Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: xinetd Version 2.1.8.9pre11
started with
Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: libwrap
Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: options compiled in.
Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: Started working: 8 available
services
Nov 29 11:41:59 raffaello xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
Nov 29 11:42:04 raffaello xinetd[16241]: amanda service was deactivated
because
of looping
Nov 29 11:42:04 raffaello xinetd[16241]: recv: Bad file descriptor
(errno = 9)
Anybody knows what's a "looping" in this context???
Thank you!!!!
Bye, Antonino Casile
