Hi everyone.
This problem is bugging me for long. I have a backup server running RH7.2
which has the default ipchains firewall in it. I have two hosts one running
on RH7.2(also ipchains in it) and other running on Mdk 8.1. Using the cue
from Amanda FAQ (with reasonable amt of understanding) I configured the
amanda on my server with portrange(850-859) and udpportrange(850-859).
I tried to run amcheck but the same old problem "selfcheck request time out"
error message is displayed. I went thro the amanda debug report on the client
(mdk 8.1) it is able to communicate with the server but gives the foll
message in the end

I have very little understanding on how the ipchains firewall work. Cud
someone give me exact details on how should I configure my amanda on the
server and as well as the client to solve this problem i.e. what portrange(or
udpportrange) shud I give for configuration on the client as well as the
server side .
Also shud I make any modifications to the /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file
which reads the foll
# Firewall configuration written by lokkit
# Manual customization of this file is not
recommended.
# Note: ifup-post will punch the current nameservers
through the
# firewall; such entries will *not* be listed
here.

Another one thing how should I configure my client running on RH7.2 which
also ipchains in it to communicate with the server.
Looking forward to ur replies.
