(For Your Information - it may save you some grief) amanda would not backup my laptop. There were no useful error messages in the amanda log. I finally ran tcpdump to monitor the chit-chat and discovered that reverse lookup for my LAN (192.168.0.x) numbers was not working.
host 192.168.0.5 Host 5.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) mem.c:877: INSIST(ctx->stats[i].gets == 0U) failed. Aborted named-checkzone approved the zone file; named-checkconf approved the overall configuration. named-checkconf -t /var/named/chroot -z (use chroot style of operation) (load the zone files) gave an error for a host name s_kvam in the reverse lookup file. Once I changed the hostname to be skvam, the reverse lookup worked. The other issue was an inability to login as root! This spooked me, but there was no evidence of foul play. My normal account and sudo worked. The fix consisted of changing the root line: < root:*:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash --- > root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash The problems were on a system that I upgraded from FC3 to FC6. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
