Mixed output in amdump.n file

[Michael Russell]

I have noticed that the amdump.n log file has mixed output from
  multiple sources in it at times - like from 'setup_estimate' 
  a 'dumper.'  Is this a known problem?  Any plans to fix it?
  FYI, this is using amanda 2.4.2 on an SGI running IRIX 6.5.9f.

Here's an example:

mtisun:/export/home overdue 1 day for level 0
setup_estimate: mtisun:/export/home: command 0, options:
last_level 0 next_level0 -1 level_days 0
getting estimates 0 (208255) 1 (0) -1 (-1)
setting up estimates for mtisun:/opt
dumper: pid mtisun:/70833 exoptecutable  overdue dumper v1 day fodumper: ersion
r level 0
pid 2.4.2, udumper: setup_estimate: pid mtisun:/sing port 70832 ex70824 exdumper: 966
optecutable pid ecutable : command dumper v70835 ex0, optioecutable ersion ns:2.4.2, u

Re: Problem with Backing up 1 host

[Michael Russell]

 Could it be that the firewall gets stricter rules at night?  I doubt
 the problem was an actual time-out, since three minutes is just too
 short a time for an estimate time-out.

The firewall does not change rules.  I, again, had the same exact
  problem last night.  Can I turn on some debugging to try to narrow
  this down?  Thanks.

Problem with Backing up 1 host

[Michael Russell]

I am having a strange problem with 1 host.  Friday (the first time for
  this host), the dumps were fine.  The last 3 nights have failed for
  that 1 host - all other hosts were fine.  If I run a test dump of just
  that 1 host, it works fine.  I'm running 2.4.2 on all machines - the tape
  server is an SGI (IRIX 6.5.9f) and the problem host is a Sun (ancient
  Solaris 2.5).  For what it's worth the SGI is behind our firewall and
  the Sun is in our DMZ - but like I said, amanda worked fine during the
  day when I tried it by hand, so I don't see it being an issue with
  that.  Here's what I am getting:
