Chris, I am wondering about the setup. Really, on the clients you should have to do any configuring except for the following. Simply install the amanda-client binaries, modify your inetd.conf or xinetd.conf to allow the service to be accessed. Then create an amanda user in group operator. From there you must navigate to the ~amanda home dir ' cd ~amanda'. Create .amandahosts and put in the name of the server and username allowed to access the client. Here is a quick breakdown of the steps that I would do on the SCO machine. I use FreeBSD x86, so my commands may be different than yours in some ways:
# MODIFY INETD cd /etc edit inetd.conf # Amanda Tape Backup System amanda stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/amandad amandad # FIND AND RESTART THE INETD PROCESS ID ps wax | grep inetd kill -1 90 # CREATE THE AMANDA USER useradd --name amanda --uid 500 --group operator --home /home/amanda --shell /sbin/nologin # CREATE THE AMANDA FILE WITH PERMISSIONS TO AMANDA USER!! su amanda cd ~amanda touch .amandahosts echo "server.yourdomain.com amanda" > .amandahosts # DOUBLE CHECK PERMISSIONS OF THE FILES ls -la .amandahosts chown amanda:operator * Then go back to the server and make sure the client is in your disklist correctly. I am assuming you've done all this, but I'm a little unsure about how you are checking the client. I know that when I install my clients, I don't have ALL the binaries from the amanda dist, just the ones necessary to oeprate the client. The AMANDA server should be the only machine you run amcheck from. Hope this helps, amanda can be tricky at times. -- Cordially, Chris Tusa ___________________________ ITECHUSA Networks & Services - Unleash the Technology Within (504) 464-4610 fax: 464-0801 http://www.itech-usa.com On Thursday 08 August 2002 02:05 pm, you wrote: > Chris, > here are more details on my setup: On Thursday 08 August 2002 02:05 pm, Chris Johnson wrote: > Chris, > here are more details on my setup: >
