your amanda service is configured for bsdtcp auth, which auth are you
using in amrecover, the default is 'bsd', you can set it in
amanda-client.conf or using '-oauth=bsdtcp' as argument to amrecover.

Hi all,
today I tried to restore a couple of files, but amrecover failed to
connect to the index server (I believe). This is on my server PC fiume:
"
fiume:~ # amrecover -s fiume
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on fiume ...
[request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]
"
Backups work perfectly with user amandabackup (this is the precompiled
Opensuse 10.2 version). Amrecover was done as root.
Has this anything to do with the 3 files in the xinet.d directory
amanda, amandaidx, amidxtape? Must a user root added somewhere?
Their contents is:
-------------------------------
amanda
-------------------------------
# description: amanda backup services
service amanda
{
only_from = fiume.localnet stremen.localnet
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
}
--------------------------------
amandaidx
--------------------------------
service amandaidx
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
}
--------------------------------
amidxtape
--------------------------------
# $Id: amidxtape,v 1.3 2006/08/04 19:45:50 root Exp $

service amidxtape
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
}
---------------------------------
Any help is appreciated.
