Hi all:
I just added a new client to my amanda setup, and ran amcheck to make
sure it was working. It didn't. Instead, I got the following:
=====
> amcheck DailySet1
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk {dumpdisk}: {size} disk space available, using {othersize}
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet1-10 label ok
Server check took 7.676 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: {newclient}: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 30.072 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)

I went through the FAQ list, and didn't find anything useful, until I
hit John Jackson's post at
<http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/140.html>. The very last
thing he suggests is to run amandad on the client node as the amanda
user, and watch what happens. Well, I got the following:
=====
> /usr/local/libexec/amandad
ld.so.1: /usr/local/libexec/amandad: fatal: libreadline.so.4: open
failed: No such file or directory
Killed
>

Then I remembered: in my setup, the client host NFS mounts /usr/local
from the tape host. That's how it gets the amanda binaries. However,
/lib (where the readline library) is *not* NFS mounted, so that library
isn't available.
I copied it over, and now everything appears happy. FYI.
John
