I'm running it on a server with SuSE 8.0. It came with the 8.0 distro, so I didn't need to compile anything. Regarding security, there are also no Amanda kerberos port entries in my /etc/services by default.
The strange thing is that I have tested Amanda in doing back ups of two other SuSE servers from backup.rnd.caribbeanblue.com. The backups complete without any errors, and I'm not able to do amrecovers from them as well. What I am seeing is that backup.rnd.caribbeanblue.com is able to back itself and other servers up, but for some reason, will not allow amrecover to work despite indexing. The backup server is accessing the clients, but the client (even if on the server) can not access the server. .amandahosts has: localhost amanda localhost root backup amanda backup root backup.rnd.caribbeanblue.com amanda backup.rnd.caribbeanblue.com root What does work is amrestore, as in: /usr/sbin/amrestore /dev/nst0 backup This pulls the .o image file containing /etc off of tape. However, it would be nice to just use amrecover for extracting needed files or directories.
