I set: $Conf{ServerHost} = 'nslu2'; $Conf{ServerPort} = 2359; $Conf{ServerMesgSecret} = '<a string containing 19 ascii-characters>'; # 'nslu2' is the device's hostname, also contained in /etc/hosts and restarted the BackupPC daemon. Unfortunately, /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status info shows the same result, hanging at the same line as before. Strangely, 'netstat' shows me: Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 4 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /mnt/usbstick/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 21002 so it seems that BackupPC still uses unix sockets. Do I have to do anything else to activate tcp connections?
