Hi, I have this problem that's getting me mad! Amanda used to work very fine between the backup server (gentoo/ Amanda installed through "emerge amanda"), and my personal pc (ubuntu/ Amanda installed through "apt-get install amanda-client"). Now we have moved the backup server to a different network zone and now the Amanda client is installed on a server on the same zone (no firewall). The client has gentoo installed, and since there's no amanda-client in gentoo portage amanda is installed (client with server) "emerge amanda" < I'm not sure if this can cause problems >.
The situation right know is as the following: The backup server: --------------------- $ hostname -f backup.xxxx.com /etc/amanda/amandahosts: auth02.xxxx.com root /etc/amanda/daily/disklist: auth02 /etc comp-user-tar /etc/xinetd.d/amanda: service amanda { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = amanda group = amanda groups = yes server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped } cat /etc/services | grep amanda amanda 10080/tcp # amanda backup services amanda 10080/udp kamanda 10081/tcp # amanda backup services (Kerberos) kamanda 10081/udp amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services The client: ------------ hostname -f auth02.xxxx.com /etc/amanda/amandahosts: backup.xxxx.com amanda /etc/xinetd.d/amanda: service amanda { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = amanda group = amanda groups = yes server = /usr/libexec/amandad server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped disable = no } cat /etc/services | grep amanda amanda 10080/tcp # amanda backup services amanda 10080/udp kamanda 10081/tcp # amanda backup services (Kerberos) kamanda 10081/udp amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services Now when: backup ~ # su - amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck daily": WARNING: auth02.xxxx.com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 29.999 seconds, 1 problem found What do you suggest? I tried a lot but couldn't get it to work, is there something missing on the client? Something wrong? Is it a problem with amanda service? Maybe a permissions problem? Thanks in advance -- Anas Marrawi Visit me at: www.anasonline.net
