Solaris 8 s28_38shwp2 SPARC

[Denise Ives]

All,

Just this past week out of the blue amanda on sunny1 (tapeserver) is
returning access denied. I inquired to the group of admins here if
anything had changed on this box or if any outages occured but they
have responded with 'no'.

I've checked host IP entries in /etc/host

amanda entires in /etc/inetd.conf
the .amandahosts entry

and still can not figure out this access problem we are having.

Any help?

And you believed them???  :-)

The problem is with your ~amanda/.amandahosts file on sunny1.neptune.com.
It should contain:

  sunny1.neptune.com amanda

You should also make sure user amanda has access to the file (i.e. it
owns it) and that it has search permission down through the directories
to it.  For instance, try this on sunny1.neptune.com:

  su amanda -c cat ~amanda/.amandahosts

(you may need to substitute the home directory of amanda for ~amanda).

On synnu1, check /tmp/amanda/* 

And don't take a no for an answer :)
