Hello! Situation: Amanda server running 2.4.2p1 on FreeBSD 4.3 Amanda client running 2.4.2p2 on Linux 2.4.12 (Slackware 8)
In an attempt to tighten up security a bit I changed the amanda user's shell from /bin/bash to /nonexistent on the Slackware machine. Ran su amanda -c "amcheck -c MYCONFIG" on FreeBSD machine, it reported that everything was fine. But when the actual backup process ran, I got the report indicating that connection to Slackware machine cannot be established. I was on the site at the time backup ran and I am sure that the machine was running. Now I changed amanda's shell back to /bin/bash and ran amdump manually. After couple of hours it should be finished. Does the amanda user really need shell access to work? -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Windws is ine for bckgroun comunicaions - Bll Gats, 192
