Hi, I've been having quite a bit of difficulty getting amrecover to work properly. I've been getting the "Unexpected server end of file" error, and the logs in /tmp/amanda/ are not being updated, even though they exist. "tapeserver" is the server, and client is the client. Amanda runs as "operator" on the tapeserver.
Here is the command I am using to attempt the recovery, as root, on client amrecover Daily -s tapeserver -t tapeserver -d /dev/nst0 And Daily is the correct (and only) configuration I'm using. Here is the ~operator/.amandahosts file from the tape server: tapeserver operator client root The permissions on that file are as follows: -rw-r----- 1 operator disk And the appropriate lines from /etc/inetd.conf: amanda dgram udp wait operator /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandaidx stream tcp nowait operator /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd amidxtape stream tcp nowait operator /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped /etc/inetd.conf had the user listed as operator.disk, which I changed. After doing that, amrecover fails instantly, instead of hanging for a few seconds. I can ping / nslookup either machine by hostname, ip, or fqdn just fine. I get the same message even if I put localhost root in the .amandahosts file, and try running amrecover on the tapeserver as root. /etc/hosts has all the correct information in it too. I guess inetd cannot correctly start amandaidx... Any ideas? -Brian Ferguson.
