running an amanda client, v2.4.3 on RedHat 7.3, using xinetd; syslog shows repeated and rapid segfaults from amandad when I run 'amcheck'. I get the following entries in the amandad log:
amandad: dgram_recv: recvfrom() failed: Socket operation on non-socket amandad: error receiving message: Socket operation on non-socket amandad: time 5.358: error receiving message: Socket operation on non-socket no other service or program on this machine shows signs of flakiness, so I'm not inclined to say it's a hardware problem. However, it has an identical setup (both software and hardware) to the amanda server (which also backs itself up); which is working fine. the same amanda-client package has been installed on several machines, and is working fine on all of them. I've also tried different versions of amanda, from amanda-2.4.2p2, 2.4.3b4, as well as 2.4.3 itself; and see no difference in the results. where/how/what should I try next to troubleshoot this?
