amidxtape req'd on clients?

[Deb Baddorf]

My clients seem to fail at doing recovers   unless I have the 
amidxtaped  process
installed  (and in inetd.conf) on the client. Yet doing an 
install as  client-only
doesn't install this piece.   I wind up doing server installs on most 
of my clients.


What am I doing wrong?   I gather that amidxtaped  isn't supposed to 
be needed on

the client,  but I can't make do without it.

Tell amrecover to connect to your tape server with the -s and -t options.
You don't need to install amidxtaped on the client
