-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, i have a problem running amcheck. My amanda server has a private ip and needs to backup a remote server(live ip). Amanda server connects to the vpnd server which is on a local lan and tunnel thru the vpn connection in order to do a backup. The remote machine which has to be backed up has a serial link established to the vpn server.
The first time i tried running amcheck, it complains that it's(the vpn server) is coming from a port which is not secure. So i need to redirect connections coming from amanda server to a well-known port and then forward it to the amanda client. Correct? I wonder if anyone has been successfull at this attempt? This is my ipchains on the vpn server. /sbin/ipchains -A forward -i sl0 -s 192.168.1.85 -d 192.168.200.2 -j MASQ /sbin/ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 600 -p udp -s 192.168.1.85 -d 192.168.200.2 10080 192.168.1.85 is the amanda server. 192.168.200.2 is the amanda client The vpn server serial ip is 192.168.100.2. This is the output of amcheck. Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check - -------------------------------- WARNING: zeus.vpn-remote: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 30.006 seconds, 1 problem found I've been cracking my head for 2 days now.. help needed, thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9CMurInIYkBVpGqURArAvAJ4jci3XB9VSOHz6YrZmsXzEMaiGpwCeLvj6 w3Sg4yGV/f3K4oe57wgiWLA= =GJbm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
