Re: amreport analysis

Just a quick note to say thanx for the suggestions, and that I'm working on
them.

I have a question which I think is more Linux than Amanda, but it's
affecting Amanda.  On one of the servers I receive the amreport via email
just fine, but on the other I have to manually request it to run.  I checked
the crontab stuff and it seems to be in there okay.  Anyone have a
suggestion on where I should look to clear this up?

Hi Tom

 Anyone have a
 suggestion on where I should look to clear this up?

Is cron running? Anything in the cron logs? What exactly is your cron
entry, and which file is it in?

Encryption with Amanda

2007-12-17 Thread Paul Crittenden
I have amanda installed and working but now I am trying to set up
encryption. I am using v2.5.2p1 on a Sun server running Solaris 9. I
have followed the instructions from the URL:

 

http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Set_up_data_encryption

 

Everything installed fine but when I try to do:

 

head -c 2925 /dev/random | uuencode -m - | head -n 66 | tail -n 65 | \
gpg --symmetric -a  ~amanda/.gnupg/am_key.gpg

 

which was taken from the aespipe-README, it fails. 

 

Solaris's head command will not accept the -c, uuencode will not accept
-m and the tail command complains it needs a file name.

 

Has anyone else gotten this to work or have any suggestions?

Thanks,
