On Friday, I finally succeeded in getting Amanda to complete a
successful backup run on the tape server. Today I'm trying to add a
Linux (RH 7.2) client. I can't seem to get past the 'amanadahostauth
failed' when running an amcheck.
I have a .amandahosts file on the client (lincvs):
datadev.mydomain.com amanda
datadev is the tape server (Solaris 8). I do have ipchains running on
lincvs and I have put in rules to allow ports 10080, 10082, and 10883
thru. I have also stopped ipchains completely and run the amcheck from
the tapeserver with the same results.
Both datadev (tapeserver) and lincvs (client) are runing 2.4.2p2. The
RedHat box (lincvs) is running with the amanda rpm's that came with 7.2.
lincvs is
I have run the C pgm from the O'Reilly B/U book that checks that the
services are called correctly and that is ok (on both client and
tapeserver).
I'm sure I'm overlooking something, and I'm still digging through the
faq-o-matic and any newsgroup searches, as well as looking at Chapter 4
in the O'Reilly Backup and Recovery book. Any/all help is appreciated.
The amcheck output from the tapeserver is below. I know I need to do a
amrmtape to re-use the DailySet101 tape below while I'm testing):
{datadev:amanda}$ amcheck Daily
