Hung processes w/ Amanda over SSH

2007-10-16 Thread Cameron Matheson
Hi Guys, I've installed Amanda v2.5.2p1 on my servers using SSH auth. The backups are working fine (Dumps come in good, and I can restore w/out any trouble), but I'm seeing a whole bunch of hung ssh/amandad/tar processes on my clients. I'm not real clear on what's causing this (maybe it's the

We've been using Amanda continuously since 1999. Amanda has minimized our backup effort and headaches and it has saved us from serious data losses on several occasions. Brava! I was delighted to see that 2.5.1 now supports ssh, and if I could just get it to work, it would be a godsend to us. I
