The message indicates that the self-check portion of the amcheck command timed out while communicating with either itself or the client. Make sure that xinetd configuration files are set up correctly to respond to the Amanda commands sent over the Amanda UDP port.
1. Check your /etc/services file on each machine to ensure that you have the amanda UDP 10080 service defined in the file. 2. Check your /etc/inetd.conf file or /etc/xinetd.d file(s) have the appropriate entries for amanda (I use Amanda at work on a Tru64 UNIX system and my home server is Fedora Core 3, your mileage may vary....) 3. Check the contents of the /tmp/amanda debug files from the amcheck operation to get more detailed explanations of why the operation is failing. Best wishes, Don Donald L.

I keep getting "selfcheck request timed out" when I try to run amcheck on the server? Is this caused by the different versions?? ************************************************************************ This e-mail and any of its attachments may contain Exelon Corporation proprietary information, which is privileged, confidential, or subject to copyright belonging to the Exelon Corporation family of Companies.
