In addition to these ports you also need a range of TCP ports through which the actual backup image is transferred. ISTR that one 'sendbackup' process needs 3 TCP ports, so if your 'inparallel' setting in config file is, say, 4, you need a range of 12 TCP ports. You also need to compile amanda with the --with-portrange option to make it use the ports you specify, otherwise it picks random ports. I have done it with 2.4.2p2 and it works. There is an excellent writeup somewhere in the amanda-hackers list archive, titled "How Amanda uses UDP and TCP ports", dated 23.07.2001, by John R. Jackson, which explains all this thoroughly. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Boy, that lightning came a little clo-********!!*******NO CARRIER
