Pardon my ignorance here, I'm fairly new to the Linux OS, so I'm sure this is old hat to many of you, but...
We recently replaced a machine that an Amanda server was backing up remotely--it was working beautifully before. We put it at the same IP address, but gave it a different machine name. The first time we ssh'd to it, got the standard message that the RSA key was missing, so we regenerated the keys for the new machine. Then I deleted the machine from my Known_Hosts file and connected from my Amanda server and accepted the new key. Now I can ssh with no problem, although I have to ssh to the old name, and the prompt shows the new name. If I try to ssh to the new name directly, I get a "Name or service not known" error. I can live with that. My problem is getting the new machine backed up using the Amanda server. At first, I was getting a FAILED report from Amanda regarding that machine (data timeout). Then I remembered that I had not set up the Amanda client in xinetd, so I added the Amanda service and restarted xinetd. I wasn't sure how to list the machine name in my Amanda disklist file, so as an experiment, I listed both names and also the IP address of the client in disklist and ran Amcheck. I get the message ERROR: (newclientname): [addr (IP address of local Amanda server): hostname lookup failed] ERROR: (oldclientname): [addr (IP address of local Amanda server): hostname lookup failed] ERROR: (clientIPaddress): [addr (IP address of local Amanda server): hostname lookup failed] This Amanda server continues to back up other clients without failure. Since amcheck can't find the remote client using its IP address, I'm assuming it's not a DNS issue. Any ideas? Larry Dunham
