Do you have ipv6 enabled on your client? If so, you may want to check the archives for a resolution I posted recently regarding RH 7.2 w/ipv6 enabled. Long and short of was that upgrading xinetd to a more recent rpm fixed our problem.
A symptom of this problem was the message you reported from the amanda server, but /tmp/amanda/amandad* (on the CLIENT) had lines similar to: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 008-B0DD0708 SEQ 1025278320 ERROR [addr 0.0.0.0: hostname lookup failed] ---- -ron > -----Original Message----- > From: Dean Lambourn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 9:04 AM > To: amanda > Subject: Unable to connect to host > > > I am in the process of setting up amanda 2.4.3b3 for a > tapeless backup on a Redhat 7.2 server.
