I have a RHE4 machine with the standard AMANDA config, and then I copied
over my amanda.conf file, disklist, and chg-conf file from the old
AMANDA server.
Now, all the clients report OK, except one! Stupid old AIX! Amcheck
says,
ERROR: stupid.server.edu [addr 555.555.555.555: hostname lookup failed]
Obviously I replace the true name & IP with fake names.
The IP is NOT CORRECT! Even in the /etc/hosts file, it has the correct
IP for this stupid.server.
Any ideas on why amanda would think that stupid.server is the wrong IP?
This is usually a reverse-DNS issue. What does
host stupid.server.edu
return?
Also, can stupid.server do lookups of smart.amanda.server?
