What happens? Do you still get the "data timeout"? That message means the server side of Amanda waited around for half an hour (unless you changed dtimeout) and didn't hear anything from the client. That can't be a good thing. I also note from your previous debug files that the tar process does not appear to have completed, which also can't be good. Is it still running (pid 7742, or 7739, or some child of one of them)? Is it hung in some bad state? For instance, if it's in 'D' state, that means the kernel has locked up on that process and it's reboot time (not to mention time to talk to your OS folks). >...

The "bind_portrange: port 960: Permission denied" is "normal" -- ignore it. That same routine (bind_portrange) is used for both privileged and non-privileged calls. It tries for a privileged port first, complains that it could not get one (duh) then tries for non-privileged. I knew that message would cause trouble when I put it in. Sigh. I've removed it from 2.4.3. >-- Stephen Carville John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
