Re: amrecover: cannot connect to host (connection refused)
After looking at this some more, I can't figure out why we are not using the Amanda stream_client function which already does all the right things (and does **not** bind specific host addresses). So if someone who's having this problem could give the following a try instead of the previous attempt and let me know, I'd appreciate it. John R.

So there isn't anyone listening any more. I don't know how xinetd does it, but other versions of inetd will reenable a service after (e.g.) 10 minutes, or if you HUP them. >Sebastian John R.

Re: amrecover: cannot connect to host (connection refused)
I was getting connection refused on amrecover for a while. The
.amandahosts file allowed access to root@localhost, but amrecover would
use root@servername and fail. My solution was to use the server name
explicitly in both .amandahosts and disklist.
Hope this help one of your problems. :)

amrecover: cannot connect to host (connection refused)
Hello,
I am using RedHat 7.0 with xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1.
amcheck and amdump are working properly, but if I want
to restore files from dump using amrecover, the tool
is not working.
Everything is called from the same host (localhost).
This is what the amrecover sends to stdout:
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.1p1. Contacting server on localhost ...
amrecover: Unexpected server end of file
And this is what I found in /var/log/messages:
Jan 29 07:51:51 myhost xinetd[1318]: xinetd Version 2.1.8.9pre11
started with
Jan 29 07:51:51 myhost xinetd[1318]: libwrap
Jan 29 07:51:51 myhost xinetd[1318]: options compiled in.
Jan 29 07:51:51 myhost xinetd[1318]: Started working: 8 available
services
Jan 29 07:51:54 myhost xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
Jan 29 07:52:07 myhost xinetd[1318]: warning: can't get client
address: Invalid argument
Jan 29 07:52:07 myhost xinetd[1318]: file descriptor of service
amandaidx has been closed
Jan 29 07:52:07 myhost xinetd[1318]: select reported EBADF but no bad
file descriptors were found
I think, the problem is:
warning: can't get client address: Invalid argument
but do you know when this could happened?
This happens only the very first time, if I try to connect
via amrecover the next time, nothing happens in the syslog,
but the amrecover client barfs:
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.1p1. Contacting server on localhost ...
amrecover: Error connecting to server: Connection refused
It is possible for operator and root to do an rsh localhost .
The permissions for /root/.rhosts
-rw---1 root root25 Jan 28 23:44 /root/.rhosts
The permissions for /root/.amandahosts
-rw---1 operator disk 107 Jan 29 00:29 /root/.amandahosts
Amanda-User: operator
User Operator is in 'disk' group.
If you need the information of /etc/xinet.d/am*
I will attach these files. I tried to use the amanda inetd-entries
w/o tcp_wrappers, but the errors are still the same.
I will also put the debug output of /tmp/amanda to this mail.
So, I am not subscribed to the mailing list, please
do a CC to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any suggestions?
thanx in advance,
Sebastian
