ERROR: 202.85.165.88: [addr 202.85.164.38: hostname lookup failed]
Dear all, Thanks for the guide for RPM for RH7.0. Now, it worsk for my own server's backup. But, for the another client backup, I have added the server's entry in the .amandahosts ns31.newsbook.net operator202.85.164.38 operator Then, I run the following on my server: sh-2.04$ ./amcheck DailySet1Amanda Tape Server Host Check-/var/tmp: 26420536 KB disk space available, that's plenty.NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.Tape DailySet100 label ok.Server check took 0.052 seconds. Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check----ERROR: 202.85.165.88: [addr 202.85.164.38: hostname lookup failed]Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.023 seconds, 1 problem found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) And have the above problem. So, I use nslookup in my server and get: [root@ns31 DailySet1]# nslookup*** Can't find server name for address 202.85.164.38: Non-existent host/domain*** Can't find server name for address 202.85.138.168: Non-existent host/domain*** Can't find server name for address 202.85.153.182: Non-existent host/domain*** Default servers are not available Is it my IP setting wrong and cause the problem? How can I correct it? Yours, Richard Ao

If you really don't have one, then you should update your /etc/hosts file (or, more precisely, whichever alternative to DNS is listed in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file in the entry "hosts:") with entries for 202.85.164.38 and all the other adresses that AMANDA will need. If you have a DNS server, then you will have to check /etc/resolv.conf: the DNS server should be listed in the entry "nameserver". If nothing works, it's a deeper DNS problem of your site. -- Regards Chris Karakas Don´t waste your cpu time - crack rc5: http://www.distributed.net

First of all, in-addr.arpa. counts backwards, so the PTR-Record for 202.85.165.88 is in Zone 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa. If you run an authoritative Zone for 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa and you don't own the complete zone, you will have troubles nslookuping the other hosts in that zone. You might want to setup "classless in-addr-arpa delegation" (RFC 2317). If this reverse zone ist hosted by your provider, ask him to add the correct hostname for 202.85.164.38. If this zone is hosted by you, make sure your parent zone's (85.202.in-addr.arpa) NS records point to your nameservers. $ dig 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa. ns ; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa. ns ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa, type = NS, class = IN ;; ANSWER SECTION: 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa. 4D IN NS hk1dns01.iadvantage.net.hk. 165.85.202.in-addr.arpa. 4D IN NS hk1dns02.iadvantage.net.hk. ;; Total query time: 673 msec ;; FROM: apollo to SERVER: default -- 192.168.1.6 ;; WHEN: Mon Dec 11 12:08:34 2000 ;; MSG SIZE sent: 41 rcvd: 104
