Sorry about being so generic: fails means I don't get any output in my
mailbox (where I usually get the amanda reports).
I've done a bit more sifting through the logs and come up with the
following in /var/log/messages:
Feb 28 09:41:52 geko60 xinetd[656]: Service amanda missing attribute
user
Feb 28 09:41:52 geko60 xinetd[656]: Service amandaidx missing attribute
user
Feb 28 09:41:52 geko60 xinetd[656]: Service amidxtape missing attribute
user
This was a fault where our NIS client wasn't started before xinetd.
I've restarted both ypbind and xinetd and rescheduled amcheck for a
test. I got some mail with the amcheck output as I would normally expect
so I think this solves the problem.
BTW regarding my other post - I'm using the following in
/etc/samba/smb.conf now:
character set = ISO8859-15
client code page = 850
and that seems to help smbclient translate most filenames correctly now.
(I only have one file now that doesn't translate properly - it has
comma's in the filename). I did notice that the W2K clients are all set
to codepage 437 but I can't find anyway to change it permanently.
Thanks for the tips.
