Hi,

I wonder if anybody can help me out with this problem.  I installed
amanda-client-2.4.2p2-1.i386.rpm on my Redhat 7.1 box, and I have 
amandad running through xinetd like so:
service amanda
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        server                  = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
     disable                    = no
     groups          = yes
     only_from       = "backup_computer"
     }

When I restart xinetd, the amanda service starts up just fine, and when 
I amcheck from my backup computer, no errors are reported. However, 
after about 20 minutes or so, I get this in my syslog:

Oct 22 15:24:11 my_computer xinetd[29480]: amanda service was 
deactivated because of looping
Oct 22 15:24:41 my_computer amandad[30051]: error receiving message: timeout

The amandad error log on my_computer reads basically the same thing:
amandad: dgram_recv: timeout after 30 seconds
amandad: error receiving message: timeout

At this point amcheck also fails.

If I restart xinetd right before the backup begins, then the backup works.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jenn Peterson
