I have AMANDA working on the server just fine. It is capable of backing up
two computers already. Now I have to work on the other 4. The problem is
the first 2 are running RedHat 7.1 and are thus using xinetd while the next
4 are running RedHat 6.2 and are thus using inetd. I can not figure out
what the heck is wrong. Here is some info:
in inetd.conf:
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
amidxtaped
Here's the results from "netstat -a | grep -i amanda":
tcp 0 0 *:amandaidx *:* LISTEN
udp 0 0 *:amanda *:*
I have the permissions set on all of the files so that Amanda can read,
write, and execute them. The .rhosts and .amandahosts files which are in
both the root and amanda directories look like this:
xxx.ornl.gov amanda
On the server, in /tmp/amanda/*.debug, I get this message:
amcheck: debug 1 pid 15215 ruid 1000 euid 0 start time Tue Jan 8 10:26:10
2002
amcheck: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.769
amcheck: pid 15215 finish time Tue Jan 8 10:26:40 2002
The other two servers still work when I run amcheck so I don't think that
there's anything wrong with the server side. It appears to be a client
side problem. I am running the same version of Amanda on all of the
machines. Another thing that I've heard people talk about is the IPChains
firewall. We use an IPChains firewall.. but one of the other computers I
back up is the firewall and the all of the computers are behind this
firewall. So I can already backup another computer that is behind the
firewall with no changes made to the IPChains so I don't believe that this
is the problem. Please help me as soon as you can. I am stuck and this is
holding up a major project. Thanks for any help you can give me.
