Hi,
in order to test you guess I modified the amanda file in the
/etc/xinetd.d directory as follows :
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = operator
group = disk
# server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server = /tmp/tmpamanda
disable = no
}
and /tmp/tmpamanda is :
#!/bin/sh
echo "$(date): GOTCHA!!!" > /tmp/amandalog
exit 0
with the following permissions :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 operator disk 81 Nov 28 10:57 tmpamanda
Then I ran "amcheck DailySet1" .... the result was that no
/tmp/amandalog was produced ... so I think your guess is right and
xinetd is not listening on the amandad port.
netstat -a | grep amanda gives the following result :
tcp 0 0 *:amandaidx *:*
LISTEN
udp 0 0 *:amanda *:*
... so your guess was apparently right!! The problem now is ... how can
I make xinetd listen on the amandad port????
Thanks in advance.
Bye, Antonino Casile
