Well I thought all was well....
I noticed that smbclient was missing from my config, after I added some
samba shares to my disklist(my fault). I went ahead and did a 'make
distclean', ran configure, make && make install. Only change, well wasn't
really a change was my $PATH - added /usr/local/samba/bin/.
I re-ran amcheck as user amanda and was presented with my original error
message (WARNING: atsun01: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?) that
started this whole thread :(
I decided to start with the troubleshooting tips you supplied earlier in
emails, but before I did go through the steps I thought I'd take a look at
the system log.
grep 'amanda' /var/adm/messages
Jan 23 21:48:58 atsun01 inetd[142]: /usr/local/libexec/amandad: Segmentation
Fault
Jan 23 21:49:00 atsun01 last message repeated 2 times
Jan 23 21:49:37 atsun01 last message repeated 35 times
Jan 23 21:49:38 atsun01 inetd[142]: amanda/udp server failing (looping),
service terminated
This is the first time I've seen the system whining about amanda.
Argh...so close .....
Thanks,
