Amanda-users, I want to think all who responded to this email. I finally got amcheck working with my cygwin.
The problem was my /tmp/amanda file.
If you do not have a /tmp/amanda file it will get created but the owner of the
/tmp/amanda file is the person who installed cygwin. Like so.
total 0
drwxrwxrwt+ 4 rmcgraw Users 0 Jul 6 15:12 .
drwxrwx---+ 10 rmcgraw Users 0 Jul 6 08:11 ..
drwx--S---+ 2 rmcgraw None 0 Jul 6 15:10 amanda
But as someone pointed out it needs to be owned by the program that runs
amandad.exe from the inetd.conf file, which in my case is SYSTEM
I changed /tmp/amanda to
drwxrwx---+ 2 SYSTEM root 0 Jul 6 15:08 amanda
I have root the group so I can have access to the directory.
You also need to restart inetd.
Now I will see if the backup will actually work tonight.
Thanks again.
Robert
--------------------MY OLD EMAIL-----------------------------
I am running Amanda 2.4.5P1 server on a Solaris 10 host.
I want to back up a WindowXP client using cygwin software.
The files on my cygwin system look like
--/etc/inetd.conf--
amanda dgram udp wait SYSTEM
/local/Amanda/amanda/libexec/amandad amandad
--/etc/service--
amanda 10080/udp #AMANDA backup services
amandaidx 10082/tcp #AMANDA backup services
amidxtape 10083/tcp #AMANDA backup services
--passwd--
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:/home/root:
root:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:/home/root
When I run amcheck on the amanda server I get:
zorn->[42] > ./sbin/amcheck -c daily coriolis
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: coriolis: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.025 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.5p1)
If I run nc (netcat) I get:
##R##-zorn->[87] ##> ./nc -v -z -u coriolis 10080
coriolis.math.purdue.edu [128.210.3.202] 10080 (amanda) open
It seems that I can make a UDP connection.
Also I ran ldd.sh on amandad.exe and got the following:
C:/cygwin/local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandad.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
I assume that this shows that amanda.exe does not have any unknown
libraries.
Any idea why the amcheck times out? Where else should I investigate?
Thanks
