hi, I am a little confused regarding adding security to Amanda. In the past I posted a question regarding adding security to Amanda - We have a Solaris 9 machine which is Amanda server and a remote Solaris 9 machine which is Amanda client. We need the data that is transferring from the client to the server be secure. People have kindly answered my question but I am still confused. Some have suggested to use sftp or ssh - bring those files to the server and then backing it up locally. However, by implementing this technique I am over loading the network - because I have to ssh or sftp all files daily instead of letting Amanda get only the changes (level 0,1 etc). But is there a way to implement ssh/sftp with Amanda?
Anyway I am trying to implement Kerberos and I have a few questions about it. I am trying to follow the documentation in Amanda for kerberos - so far I downloaded the file amanda-krb4-2.4.0p1.tar.gz - I unzipped it and tared it (tar xvf). Yet I don't know what the next step should be - configure+make??? Additionally the KERBEROS doc for Amanda under the INSTALLATION section says: "2. INSTALLATION The kerberized Amanda service uses a different port on the client hosts. The /etc/services line is: kamanda 10081/udp " Then what should be the host on the server site? Finally how can I test that Kerberos encryption works with Amanda? Please note that our Amanda server and client are Solaris 9 boxes but in the future we might implement it on Win boxes (is it feasible to implement Kerberos on Win box?)
