If your AMANDA backup user is operator and its home directory is /home/operator, then your .amandahosts file should be /home/operator/.amandahosts. -- Regards Chris Karakas Dont waste your cpu time - crack rc5: http://www.distributed.net

If it's Solaris check the .rhosts file for the specified user on the client box. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Casile Antonino Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 9:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: access as USERNAME not allowed!! Hi, I don't want to further bother people in this mailing list but it seems that for some strange reason Amanda doesn't like my computer!!! The problem now it that when I run "amcheck -c DailySet1" I got the following output : Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: raffaello: [access as operator not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.020 seconds, 1 problem found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) I went to the amanda FAQ page and I modified the .amandahost file as follows : raffaello.bu.edu operator but amanda still does not want to work!!! :-( Has anybody any idea of what's going on??? Thanks, Antonino Casile

Thanks to everybody who replied to my E-mail unfortunately all the advices had no effect .. I keep on getting the same error. To make things a little bit clearer I installed amanda using the rpms given with Linux RedHat7.0 for i386. I think that the rpms are compiled with the option --with-amandahosts on. In any case they create a file /root/.amandahosts upon installing. These rpms automatically create a user named "operator". The entry in /etc/passwd is : operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/bin/bash In /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amand.conf I added the following line : dumpuser "operator" # the user to run dumps under The file /root/.amandahosts is : raffaello.bu.edu operator ... and if I run, as user "operator" (from the root account I run "su - operator"), the command "amcheck -c DailySet1" I get the following REALLY annoying message : Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: raffaello: [access as operator not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.062 seconds, 1 problem found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) Obviously raffaello.bu.edu is the host Amanda runs on!!! Thanks in advance for any help!! Bye, Antonino Casile
Re: access as USERNAME not allowed!!
I had the same problem with a RedHat client. Here are my pertinent log files. Note that 'navajo' is my tape host, and 'dragoon' is my linux box. === Now I need to get the newly installed client to work. It looks like the rpm put a line into /etc/inetd.conf and put the programs files into /usr/lib/amanda running amcheck from navajo resulted in: ERROR: dragoon.hq.consys.com: [access as operator not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Looks like I need to modify .amandahosts ... Adjusted ownershop of /root/.amandahosts to operator:root amcheck still gives this error for dragoon. Adjusted capitalization in the file to navajo.hq.ConSys.COM --- Still not working. Checked FAQ --- Edited dragoon's inetd.conf and fixed "operator.disk" to "operator". Drat... still didn't fix it. Changed ownership of /usr/lib/amanda and everything in it to operator:root (was root:root). The file runtar was root:d isk, changed it to operator:disk. amcheck still fails on dragoon. I noticed that there are some other files in /usr/lib that are root access only... maybe I should use the rpm to chang e ownership. Hmmm, doesn't seem to be a way to do it via rpm. Check permissions of navajo /usr/local/libexec/amanda and set the ones on dragoon similiarly. Added an operator group to dragoon Still not working. Modified permissions to /root/.amandahosts and modified the group entry for the operator group. Still failing. Moved the .amandahosts file to / just to see. Progress! Now I get different error: Hope this helps. :) I'm just glad I keep good logs of what I do. --- Eric Wadsworth
