2.4.2p2/xinetd/linux 2.4 problem ...

[Do-Risika RAFIEFERANTSIARONJY]

Hi all,

I try to run amanda client with xinetd instead of inetd.

But, running amcheck on the amanda server seems to crash the xinetd process on the client, and to leave a process [amandad <defunct>]. After that, amcheck from the server results 'selfcheck timed out'. However, there is no problem with inetd.

I wonder if it is a problem with the triplet amanda2.4.2p2/xinetd/linux kernel 2.4, because I use amanda2.4.2p2/xinetd with a kernel 2.2 without problem ?

Has someone already experienced this ? and how to resolve ?

I put here below :

* my xinetd.conf contents,
* the 2 processes xinetd and amandad defunct,
* and the amandad.debug in /tmp/amanda (in which I do not notice any error).

I use Linux Debian woody, if it could interests.


sokatra:~# cat /etc/xinetd.conf
defaults
{
log_type = FILE /var/log/xinetd.log
log_on_success = PID
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}

service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = backup
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
only_from = 192.168.11.1
flags = IPv4
}
