I have setup a test configuration because of the issue I'm seeing on a Solaris 10/x86 amanda 3.2.1 server/client. Auth is set to "local".
The error from the amanda report is: planner: ERROR xxx.math.utah.edu NAK: timeout on reply pipe The test configuration has 11 DLEs. If I let the sendsize/calcsize run to completion, they may take about 30 minutes. However, the timeout happens after about 2 minutes. The etimeout value is set to 1800 seconds. There are PREP packets being seen until the ~2 minute period has passed. At which point sendbackup starts dumping the DLEs which have estimates. My best guess is that the problem is between amandad and the sendsize processes. This problem also happens when a 2.6.1 server tries to backup the 3.2.1 client. I have compiled amanda 3.2.1 with both gcc and cc, with no change in behavior. Any ideas on where to look for the problem? Thanks, Pieter
