Hi folks! I know this question is asked a lot, and I've looked through various solutions, and the FAQ but can't seem to solve my problem. (I'm trying to run this on Linux) When I run amcheck, I get the following error:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /usr/local/etc/amanda/Test/dumps: 692120 KB disk space available, that's plenty NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Tape Test02 label ok Server check took 3.230 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: snitch: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 30.024 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4)
-This creates an amcheck.*.debug file with the appropriate timestamp, and this file is as follows:
amcheck: debug 1 pid 3264 ruid 0 euid 0: start at Thu Mar 13 16:33:09 2003 amcheck: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.981 amcheck: pid 3264 finish time Thu Mar 13 16:33:39 2003
As Gene pointed out, you really shouldn't be using localhost.
-However, NO amandad.*.debug file is created. (using ls - lu /usr/local/libexec/amandad, the file is not being accessed when amcheck is run) Please note that I am using xinetd instead of inetd. In /etc/xindetd.d , I have the amanda,amidxtape and amindexd files as respectively:
# default: off # description: Part of Amanda server package
service amanda { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root group = disk server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad }
Are you really using 'root' for the Amanda user? If so you should change it to another user, some Amanda utilities won't run if started by root (although I don't know if that is still true if it was configured with --with-user=root).
Frank
amidxtape: # Converted by Linux-Mandrake_inetdconvert service amidxtape { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped server_args = amidxtaped disable = no } amindexd: # Converted by Linux-Mandrake_inetdconvert service amindexd { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd server_args = amindexd disable = no }
This being said, I've also checked my firewalling, and the tcpwrappers, and these seem to have no effect. I've also tried restarting xinetd, and I made sure that amanda shows up in ntsysv.
If you run /usr/local/libexec/amandad from the command line as the Amanda user does it behave as expected (i.e., does nothing for a minute or so, then returns, or returns instantly if you hit a key) or does it return some error message?
Frank
Can someone PLEASE give me a hand with this? Thanks so much!
