Subject: 2.4.2 port not secure
Friends,
still desperate!
Installed 2.4.2 as client on the webserver outside the firewall.
2.4.1 runs on the tapehost as server.
Configured everthing (I would say yes) as needed including the firewall.
see the config for the client:
#! /bin/sh
# Generated automatically by configure.
# Run this file to recreate the current configuration.
# This directory was configured as follows,
# on host cobalt01.oxalis.de:
#
# ./configure --without-server --prefix=/home/backup_software
--with-user=amanda --with-group=disk
--with-gnutar-listdir=/var/amanda/gnutar-lists --with-portrange=850,859
--with-udpportrange=850,859
#
# Compiler output produced by configure, useful for debugging
# configure, is in ./config.log if it exists.
ac_cs_usage="Usage: ./config.status [--recheck] [--version] [--help]"
for ac_option
do
case "$ac_option" in
-recheck | --recheck | --rechec | --reche | --rech | --rec | --re |
--r)
echo "running ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} ./configure --without-server
--prefix=/home/backup_softwa
re --with-user=amanda --with-group=disk
--with-gnutar-listdir=/var/amanda/gnutar-lists --with-portra
nge=850,859 --with-udpportrange=850,859 --no-create --no-recursion"
exec ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} ./configure --without-server
--prefix=/home/backup_software --with
-user=amanda --with-group=disk
--with-gnutar-listdir=/var/amanda/gnutar-lists --with-portrange=850,8
59 --with-udpportrange=850,859 --no-create --no-recursion ;;
-version | --version | --versio | --versi | --vers | --ver | --ve |
--v)
echo "./config.status generated by autoconf version 2.13"
exit 0 ;;
-help | --help | --hel | --he | --h)
echo "$ac_cs_usage"; exit 0 ;;
*) echo "$ac_cs_usage"; exit 1 ;;
esac
done
ac_given_srcdir=.
ac_given_INSTALL="/usr/bin/install -c"
BUT, the client still wants to open a High-Port, see:
> Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
> --------------------------------
> ERROR: cobalt01: [host kerberos.oxalis.de: port 63664 not secure]
> Client check: 4 hosts checked in 0.200 seconds, 1 problem found.
Why does this happen?
Does anyone has an idea or suggestion?
I�m out here!
