Hi all, this error was already extensively reported, but i have to do it again :-) I installed amanda 2.4.5 on FreeBSD 5.3 to backup the main HD to a second HD of my machine (so both amanda server and client where installed). I created a configuration called kenai and typed:
SHELL: amcheck kenai . . (server check ok) . Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: kenai.chemie.fu-berlin.de: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Relevant parts of my .../kenai/amanda.conf file are: ---------- tpchanger "chg-disk" tapedev "file:/d1/amanda/bkups/kenai" changerfile "/d1/amanda/config/kenai/chg-multi.conf" define tapetype HARD-DISK { length 600 mbytes # there will be many 600MB slots, CDs will be burnd ... } define dumptype tar-to-hd-kenai { holdingdisk no index yes program "GNUTAR" } tapetype HARD-DISK amrecover_changer "chg-multi" ---------- I overchecked the files .../config/kenai/disklist (this uses the full qualified hostname), /etc/inetd.conf (inetd restarted), /etc/services, /etc/amandahosts, ~/.rhosts (from proper user).

But are the only error message i have. Does anyone have any idea where is the problem? I thank you all in advance.
