Hi Jörn, that's easy: amcheck must not be run as root, but as the amanda-user! (normally "amanda"). It's because the program tries to connect to the client with a rsh, and the client system doesn't allow remote connections as root (would be a BIG security hole if it does...) greetings, harald -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jörn Hildebrandt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 15.

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) <<<<<<<<<<< i am little bit astonished as new linux-user about "access as amanda not allowed....." because i'm running this command as root. i have installed the amanda package as rpm from cd (suse 7.0 professional), so i am not quite sure what is set per default (.amandahosts / .rhosts). i used both in the root dir of root and in the home dir of the user amanda. the permissions are set right! when i'm running amcheck <DailySet1> as user amanda, i receive the message: ERROR: saturn.systemelektronik.de: port 1024 not secure many thanks for any advice!
