I am in the process of setting up amanda 2.4.3b3 for a tapeless backup on a Redhat 7.2
server. As a test, I am trying to backup the amanda server to itself. Unfortunately,
it is unable to connect. When I configured amanda, I set it up to not use the
.amandahosts file. I am able to rsh to server from the server as the user amanda so
the problem is not .rhosts or hosts.equiv files and it is able to resolve the host
name.
When I run amcheck, here is the error message I receive:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: toast.pcf.com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.005 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3b3)
I have added a .amandahosts file in case it was trying to use it:
/home/amanda/.amandahosts
toast amanda
localhost amanda
osiris amanda
Here is the relevant file for the xinetd configuration:
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
protocol = udp
user = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/amanda/backup/libexec/amandad
disable = no
}
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
