I'm using amanda to back up about Linux 10 machines, some through a firewall. I'm looking at making the "holes" I've got punched in the firewall a little smaller and two questions arise:
1) It seems that the --with-tcpportrange and --with-udpportrange options designed to make usage through a firewall easier are strictly compile-time options. Wouldn't these be more appropriate as run-time options, perhaps in amanda.conf? I'm using pre-packaged builds for several different flavors of Linux and I'd rather not have to compile/maintain a bunch of different executables if I can avoid it. 2) Is there some way to get a pre-compiled version of amanda to tell me what portrange settings it was compiled with? I know I can observe the sessions on the wire and figure it out that way, but I'm hoping there is an easier way. Thanks.
