Hi Folks,
 

Pls help, I have spent a lot of time but I haven't yet succeded, 

I am getting this error "WARNING: xxx: selfcheck request timed out.  Host 
down?"
on  amanda-2.4.2p2 

I trying to backup the client from the same machine which is tape server. so 
that I can backup its file system. 


1.Here is my config. I configured the tape server as follows.
./configure  --with-user=amanda --with-group=amanda --with-config=config 
 --without-bsd-security --with-amandaho
sts --with-index-server=xxx.domain.com --with-tape-server=xxxx.domain.com 
 --with-tape-drive=/dev
/nst0 --with-fqdn --with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/tar 


2. my xinted.conf has the following
service amanda
{
       socket_type     dgram
       protocol        udp
       wait            yes
       user            amanda
       group           amanda
       server          /usr/local/libexec/amandad
       port            10080
} 

service amandaidx
{
       socket_type     stream
       protocol        tcp
       wait            no
       user            amanda
       group           amanda
       server          /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
       port            10082
       log_type        = SYSLOG authpriv
       log_on_success          = HOST PID
       log_on_failure          = HOST RECORD
} 

service amidxtape
{
       socket_type     stream
       protocol        tcp
       wait            no
       user            amanda
       group           amanda
       server          /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
       port            10083
       log_type        = SYSLOG authpriv
       log_on_success          = HOST PID
       log_on_failure          = HOST RECORD
} 

3. I increased the ctimeout from 30secs to 60 secs in amanda.conf 

4. I unistalled nfs 

5. the /etc/services looks good. 

6. Howerver when trying to rlogin -l amanda_user it is asking for password 


Kindly show me what to do. Thank you
