I'm not the best person to answer amanda questions, but as most people in the US are
probably sleeping right now, I'll do what I can. However, expect more answers when
it's not in the middle of the night over there.
1. Is this a question? If so, I don't understand it. To me it looks like a log message
from amanda.
2. Well, essentially, you don't. Not manually. Have you read the part in the online
chapter about putting amanda stuff in /etc/services and /etc/inet.d file? This here is
an excerpt from that chapter:
--- Starts here ---
AMANDA needs changes to the network services and inetd configuration files. The
client-src/patch-system script should be able to set up systems in most cases. It does
not currently handle systems that deliver service entries via YP/NIS. If the script
does not work, add the following entries to the services file (e.g., /etc/services) or
YP/NIS map:
Amanda 10080/udp
Amandaidx 10082/tcp
Amidxtape 10083/tcp
Each client needs an entry in the inetd configuration file (e.g., /etc/inetd.conf)
like this, substituting the AMANDA user for Amanda and the full path to the AMANDA
libexec directory for PATH:
amanda dgram udp wait Amanda /PATH/libexec/amandad amandad
The amanda service is used by all AMANDA controlling programs to perform functions on
the clients.
The tape server host needs entries like these if the amrecover tool is to be used:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait Amanda /PATH/libexec/amindexd amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait Amanda /PATH/libexec/amidxtaped amidxtaped
--- Ends Here ---
So, essentially, the amanda server starts the client software remotely.
Hope this helps. I'm not sure if I understood your question completely.
