I've got a new install on RedHat 7.1 (amanda server 2.4.2p2) and clients are
Solaris 2.6 (amanda 2.4.1p1)
I've gone through the entries in the AMANDA FAQ-o-matic without success.
I built amanda on the RedHat system, rather than installing the pre-compiled
rpm included with the distribution.
The builds were all configured with the following options:
--with-user=root --with-group=sys --with-amandahosts
When amcheck is run, the clients -do- start amandad. I get prolific
amandad.debug and selfcheck.debug files on the clients. The clients have
been working with another server (Solaris 2.6 amanda 2.4.1p1) for quite some
time. The only thing I've changed on the clients is the .amandahosts file.
It seemed like that's all that should be necessary on the client side.
I'm green on Linux, so that may be part of the problem. xinetd is new to me,
but I think I've got the files in xinetd.d configured correctly on the
server, since each file is an analogy to the corresponding old inetd.conf
entry. Typos always possible.
The debug files say there is some weirdness with acknowledgments. All the
machines are inside our firewall.
