hostname lookup failed?

2001-04-27 Thread Tom Hudak
This one has me a bit confused. Here are the hostnames samba2 = 10.0.2.201 samba = 10.0.1.3 homer = 10.0.1.2 and this is the error I receive: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: samba2: [addr 10.0.1.2: hostname lookup failed] ^--

So I've been dealing with amanda through a (IPMasq/NAT linux) firewall and there are obvious issues with masquerading preventing amanda from functioning correctly, I have yet to test this config but my hypothesis is, setup IP-IP tunneling on the firewall, clients, and server, and create a tunnel f

After much brain storming and headaches, I have come to 1 conclusion, amcheck is opening and transferring data on a (range) port(s) that are separate from what I have specified during configure. This occured to me after studying my known goods, port-port links are all ok, tested both directions wi

Ok, I've posted to the group 2 times and no-one seems to have setup a working config through a firewall or can only guess as to how it *should* be, I have come to the conclusion that amcheck transmits it's data over ports *outside* of my specified range due to the fact that I can use nc to listen

Ok, using netcat I have determined that direct port->port communications exist for all specified portranges as well as 10080 via udp as configured for amandad. using the commands: homer: nc -l -p 10080 bender: nc -p 10080 -v homer.sistina.com 10080 -> cmd-in-nc amanda to which homer's nc session p

I've been working on this firewall setup for hours now and may be a bit off in my logic. Server A (bender), is located outside the firewall, Server B (fry), is the firewall, and Server C (homer) is the backup tape server. tcp port range is 11080-11084 udp port range is 850-854 (all of which are op

I just read the recipe for amanda through a firewall, and was wondering if there is a way to avoid having to use the compile time options to specify port ranges. Also, is 2.4.2beta stable enough to run a reliable backup of 3 machines (that's why I'm not running 2.4.2 yet) without having an error m
