This is not bad "per se", I do that all the time because I cannot
remember the exact syntax of the list name.

But along with changing the To: and Cc: and putting in a new Subject:
you should also make sure to clean-up the References: header that is
used to link one reply to the originating message.
 
Best regards,

Hi,

What version of Amanda are you using? ssh support was added to Amanda 2.5.0.




  ?ssh support?  is it optional/default/???  What parts might use it?


optional which is part of the implementation to use the Security API. 
Default is "auth bsd". amdump will use it.




I wonder why Florian would be hitting it (i.e. even using any aspect of ssh)
by simply upgrading an existing amanda installation?


please see other posts on this thread.

I had no idea that this way of composing a new thread, by moving the cc: address
amanda-users@amanda.org to the to: address amanda-users@amanda.org would 
constitute 
"hijacking." It is mistaken wrong to suggest that this was in any way 
intentional.
Nevertheless, my apologies.

You did not start a new thread.  You replied to an unrelated message and
simply changed the Subject: header, thereby hijacking the thread.

Starting a new thread involves composing a brand new message, not replying
to an existing message.

It doesn't.  This actually happens when someone or something opens the SSH 
port and never does anything and closes it.  Monitoring apps do this a lot 
looking for the SSH banner.


'amanda' in the SSH lines is your host's name.  The START lines indicate 
xinetd is starting amandad, so you should look in 
/tmp/amanda/amandad*.debug and /tmp/amanda/amcheck*.debug.   They're 
date+time stamped files.



Couple things to check, is amandad started correctly on the client?
1) /etc/init.d/xinetd restart and see if there is any error on
/var/log/messages.

2) any error in /tmp/amanda/amcheck*.debug?

Thanks!
