Yes, this patch solved the problem. Thank you! Can we anticipate
it being integrated into future versions?

Try the attached patch.

Hi,
Is there any gross imcompatability that would prevent a 2.6.1p1 client
from being backed up by a 2.4.3b3 server?
I've got it to the point where they are at least talking with each
other, using auth bsd.
amcheck -c is happy.
estimates worked ok.
But amstatus is showing this:
client-a:/a0 driver: [parse of reply message failed] (10:34:30)
client-a:/var 0 driver: [parse of reply message failed] (10:41:15)
client-a:/var/log 0 31020k wait for dumping driver: (aborted:[request
timeout])
hmm... here's something interesting in the sendbackup.debug file:

So it looks like a problem sending the index data. I've set index_server
to the correct hostname in /etc/amanda-client.conf. Will this properly
override the settings configured at compile time? This client is installed
from the redhat rpm, so it has no local compile-time configuration.
The /etc/amanda-client.conf looks like this:
#
# amanda.conf - sample Amanda client configuration file.
#
# This file normally goes in /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf.
#
conf test # your config name
index_server amanda-server# your amindexd server
tape_server amanda-server# your amidxtaped server
tapedev tape:/dev/nst1 # your tape device
# if not set, Use configure or ask server.
# if set to empty string , ask server
# amrecover will use the changer if set to the
value
# of 'amrecover_changer' in the server amanda.conf.
# auth- authentication scheme to use between server and
client.
# Valid values are bsd, bsdudp, bsdtcp, krb5,
local,
# rsh and ssh.
# Default: [auth bsdtcp]
auth bsd
ssh_keys # your ssh keys file if you use ssh auth
Anyone see anything obvious we're overlooking? (Yeah, besides needing to
upgrade the server!) :-)
