Re: Amcheck: access accepted!
Many thanks to all who helped. All is working so far. I changed the dump user to amanda, and ran amcheck as su amanda. Thanks again, Trevor. - Original Message - From: Martin Hepworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Trevor Fraser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 11:34 AM Subject: Re: Amcheck: acess denied Trevor yeah looks like you've got username access problems. make sure that both the client and server are compiled with the userid=amanda group=somegroup settings and make sure that the amanda user exists on both systems. Also as another poster mentioned, make sure you've got xinetd setup correctly. and then run amcheck as the amanda user. -- Martin Trevor Fraser wrote: - Original Message - From: Martin Hepworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Trevor Fraser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 5:10 PM Subject: Re: Amcheck: acess denied trevor didn't get the attachment -- martin Trevor Fraser wrote: Hi Martin.

Hi, Trevor Fraser wrote: -I am running as root who is the dump user. This means you have compiled amanda with --dump-user=root, did you? If yes, why is amandad setup to run as user amanda? This will not work. As you are using RH 7.3 have a look at the configfiles of xinetd. it usually has a subdirectory somewhere in /etc/xinetd containing the configs for the services to run. The user is setup there. and your .amandahosts has to be readable only by the backup-user. if it is group or world readable amanda refuses to use it.
