Hello,
to show out my Problem a little bit more in detail:
I have a PC with RedHat 7.0 (reinstalled it for some other reasons
yesterday)
I took amanda from the RPMs, so I don't know any internals besides the
config-files.
I'm a bit afraid of compiling the program myself, because I remember my bad
experiences
in compilng the 2.4 Kernel (it took me several hours and reminded my of my
poor
performance as a programmer)
Of course, I started this banner trick AFTER the normal operation continued
to fail.
I removed them again.(Thank You, John R. Jackson).
Recently, I downloaded lsof and grepped its output for am*.
As You can see, amandaidx and imidxtape are listening, but there is no
amandad:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
xinetd 2425 root 4w REG 3,69 639 2112
/xinetd.log
xinetd 2425 root 5u IPv4 975102 TCP *:login
(LISTEN)
xinetd 2425 root 6u unix 0xd329b740 975093 socket
xinetd 2425 root 7u IPv4 975103 TCP
*:amandaidx (LISTEN)
xinetd 2425 root 8u IPv4 975104 TCP *:ftp
(LISTEN)
xinetd 2425 root 9u IPv4 975105 TCP
*:amidxtape (LISTEN)
xinetd 2425 root 10u IPv4 975106 TCP *:telnet
(LISTEN)
The first line shows a log file (/xinetd.log) which logs every start of a
service via xinetd.
It looks like:
00/11/28@11:59:41: START: amandaidx pid=1102 from=127.0.0.1 <-- Don't ask
me how I did this, I don't know!
00/11/28@11:59:57: START: telnet pid=1104 from=192.168.0.8
00/11/28@12:45:36: START: telnet pid=1548 from=127.0.0.1
00/11/28@12:46:23: START: telnet pid=1578 from=127.0.0.1
00/12/1@17:52:32: START: telnet pid=13044 from=192.168.0.6
00/12/1@18:11:12: START: telnet pid=15969 from=192.168.0.6
The compiled-in user "operator" HAS write-access to /tmp/amanda.
When I start amandad by hand, it waits 30 secs and prints a Timeout
message to /tmp/amanda/amandad.debug.
There are no helpful messages in /var/log/messages
Any Hints?
Does anyone use amanda with the xinetd (Extended Internet Services Demon)?
If so, can You mail Your /etc/xinetd.d files dealing with amanda to me?
