Yes I did!!!
The problem here is xinetd ... I looked at the /var/log messages and I
got the following lines just after having run "amcheck DailySet1":
> Nov 28 18:42:06 raffaello xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
> Nov 28 18:42:22 raffaello xinetd[14793]: refused connect from 128.197.61.90
>From here you can see that xinetd is refusing to connect from
128.197.61.90 (which is the PC I am trying to make the amanda server run
on!!) ... the problem is that all the configuration files are ok ... at
least I think ...
My hosts.allow file is as follow :
imapd: localhost 128.197.61.90
in.telnetd: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
128.197.61.184 128.197.61.187 193.205.82.52
in.talkd: ALL
in.tftpd: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
in.fingerd: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
in.rlogind: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
in.rshd: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
in.ftpd: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
128.197.61.184 128.197.61.187
in.rexecd: localhost 128.197.61.90
rpc.cmsd: localhost 128.197.61.90
# httpd: localhost 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
portmap: localhost 128.197.61.90 128.197.61.91 128.197.61.92
128.197.61.95 128.197.61.96 128.197.61.97 128.197.61.184 128.197.61.187
xinetd.conf is :
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type= SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
and finally /etc/xinetd.d/amandad is :
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= operator
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
disable = no
}
At this point I see no particular reason for xinetd to refuse
connections on port 10080 for the same host!!! Do you seee any??

Hi,
i assume in your hosts.deny you have something like ALL:ALL
to block every connect to ports not explicitly allowed in hosts.allow.
But in your hosts.allow i can't find a line allowing access from
128.197.61.90 to the amanda-ports.
probably it would be a good idea to include something like
ALL: 128.197.61.90
into hosts.allow to make shure all acesses from the local host
are allowed, because you shurely trust your own machine, don't you?

Re: [Fwd: Problems with amanda and Red-Hat 7.0]
Hi, your suggestion partially worked. I added a line like : ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1 128.197.61.90 in hosts.allow (the fact is that, with the release of xinetd, you can filter packets based on the service that is being requested either with the hosts.allow file or with the xinetd configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d ... which I think is quite confusing!!!) here is the output I get running "amcheck -c DailySet1" : Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check protocol packet receive: Connection refused protocol packet receive: Connection refused WARNING: raffaello: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 29.997 seconds, 1 problem found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) Going through the /var/log/messages file I have found the following record : Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: xinetd Version 2.1.8.9pre11 started with Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: libwrap Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: options compiled in. Nov 29 11:41:56 raffaello xinetd[16241]: Started working: 8 available services Nov 29 11:41:59 raffaello xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded Nov 29 11:42:04 raffaello xinetd[16241]: amanda service was deactivated because of looping Nov 29 11:42:04 raffaello xinetd[16241]: recv: Bad file descriptor (errno = 9) Anybody knows what's a "looping" in this context??? Thank you Bye, Antonino Casile
