ERROR port 40001 not secure
Hello I have a little problem, I am running my AMANDA backup server on my private network to backup some clients on my internet network. The problem is that between these two network I use NAT and NAT does some port mapping so it translates for example port 858 to 40001. And it looks like to be able to backup a client the client needs to receive a request from a source port lower than 1024. So is there any method to disable this on the client side ?? I would like to be able to backup even if the source port is over 1024, I don't care. Or is there another better method to cope with this ?? But I won't make my firewall map ports under 1024 that's not a good solution I think. Thanks for your opinion.

Look for "not secure" in common-src/security.c and comment out that test. >I would like to be able to backup even if the source port is over 1024, I >don't care. If you're sure you understand the security implications of opening this door, go right ahead. I'm curious, though. Why don't you want to let a small privileged port range on the server go through NAT to the clients unaltered? >Marc John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
