I am getting the infamous amcheck "selfcheck request timed out" problem. I am attepting to backup the server (hostname is redrox , running RH 6.2 Linux) that amanda is installed on. I have read the FAQ on this problem and have checked out everything suggested.
This is what my /etc/inetd.conf looks like:
amanda dgram udp wait amanda
/usr/local/libexec amandad
The AMANDA user is named amanda and her? home is /home/amanda, that
is where .amandahosts lives. My .amandahosts file:
redrox amanda
The AMANDA user amanda user can write to /tmp because there is a amcheck.debug
file there. With the following:
check: debug 1 pid 20037 ruid 512 euid 0 start time Fri Jan 12 12:44:41
2001
2 amcheck: pid 20037 finish time
Fri Jan 12 12:45:11 2001
I have made sure that amandad is executeable by the amanda user.
I did not get any errors when I did kill -SIGHUP <inetd pid>, however
I get the following
when I run amcheck:
Jan 12 11:51:27 redrox inetd[383]: /usr/local/libexec (pid 19712):
exit status 1
Jan 12 11:51:37 redrox inetd[383]: /usr/local/libexec (pid 19714):
exit status 1
Jan 12 11:51:47 redrox inetd[383]: /usr/local/libexec (pid 19715):
exit status 1
Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Any suggestions would
be most appreciated.
