Hi Holm
I've just started with amanda on Red Hat. Spent a long night getting it working (with
a lot of help from this list).
Here's my entry in xinetd.conf... (not touched)
==============
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
===============
Here's the file "amanda" in the /etc/xinetd.d directory... (amanda is mentioned in
services)
===============
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
disable = no
}
================
The real life saver was when I added...
================
program "GNUTAR"
================
into the define dumptype in amanda.conf
Hope this helps
rgds
Dirk
