Greeting Jean-Louis; Trying to figure out why amanda can't backup this machine, one of the things I noticed in /etc, is that on the shop box, which works, there is not an /etc/xinetd.d but it has an old-xinetd.d with a single stanza amanda file in it.
An ls -lau shows that file, /etc/old-xinetd.d/amanda was apparently accessed a few minutes ago by my amcheck from the server. However, on the new install on the machine that is failing to allow the connection, there is an /etc/xinet.d, with an amanda file in it with an old last access date/time, was not 'touched' when I ran the amcheck. Its last access date/time is I believe, the date/time of the installation itself. That amanda-common is 2.6.1p1 IIRC. amcheck says: WARNING: lathe: selfcheck request failed: Connection refused There has been enough configuration done that amrecover on this machine works. There is a /var/backups/.amandahosts file, its a link to /etc/amandahosts BUT, in /etc/.amandahosts. I'll mv it to /etc/amandahosts. Ran amcheck, no change and that file was not accessed. What do I check next? Thank you. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
