You've got me scratching what little grey hair I have. First, it appears the machine is the server, but you re-installed --without-server? Putting 2 and 2 together, one of them must be -2 cause its not adding up. :) And you didn't indicate if ~/.amandahosts was in use unless I missed a clue above. You may have to reconstruct that file as I don't think it would be in the backup if the perms were set (0400) as recommended. Third, having a configuration script that you can copy to each new tarballs unpacked directory so that each new version is configured like the last one is a major bit of insurance. I posted mine again a few days ago, so check the archives for a copy of that for the server. Then 2.4.2p2 is getting a bit long in the tooth. 2.4.4-p1-20030716 seems to be very stable, and/or Jean-Louis is on vacation and has not been around to release new snapshot tarballs. Get it from Jean-Louis's site at (IIRC) umontreal.edu.ca. >The configuration is setup as follows: > >/etc/group entry > >sys::3:root,bin,sys,adm,amanda > >/etc/passwd entry > >amanda:x:61287:3:Amanda Backup >Account:/home/amanda:/usr/local/bin/bash > >ls -al /home/amanda > >drwxr--r-- 2 amanda sys 512 Aug 1 10:53 >. >drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 258560 Aug 1 10:33 >.. >-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda sys 24 Aug 1 10:53 >.amandahosts >-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda other 144 Aug 1 10:33 >.profile >-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda other 124 Aug 1 10:33 >local.cshrc >-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda other 607 Aug 1 10:33 >local.login >-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda other 582 Aug 1 10:33 >local.profile > >/etc/services > >amanda 10080/udp #Dump >server control >amandaidx 10082/tcp >#Amanda Indexing >amidxtape 10083/tcp >#Amanda tape indexing > >/etc/inetd.conf > >amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad >amandad >amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amindexd >amindexd >amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped >amidxtaped > >ls -al /usr/local/libexec/ > >drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Aug 1 10:49 >. >drwxr-xr-x 21 root other 512 Feb 24 11:27 >.. >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 430696 Aug 1 10:48 >amandad >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 416880 Aug 1 10:49 >amidxtaped >-rwsr-x--- 1 root sys 346924 Aug 1 10:48 >calcsize >-rwsr-x--- 1 root sys 280588 Aug 1 10:48 >killpgrp >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 4588 Aug 1 10:49 >patch-system >-rwsr-x--- 1 root sys 278268 Aug 1 10:48 >rundump >-rwsr-x--- 1 root sys 279084 Aug 1 10:48 >runtar >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 391552 Aug 1 10:48 >selfcheck >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 772104 Aug 1 10:48 >sendbackup >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 647880 Aug 1 10:49 >sendsize >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 278120 Aug 1 10:49 >versionsuffix > >ls -al /usr/local/sbin > >-rwxr-x--- 1 amanda sys 903404 Aug 1 10:49 >amrecover >-rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda sys 499552 Aug 1 10:49 >amrestore > > > > > >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Lauri Bettencourt >UNIX System Administrator >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
