I have ten Solaris8 clients running Amanda just fine, however one of them has been holding out on me for months and I can't figure it out.
It compiles fine, it installs fine, and it even seems to run fine (If I do /usr/local/libexec/amandad, it runs for a minute, then stops, like all the others do). However, if I run amcheck <config> <clientname> I get these messages on the client: Sep 4 08:24:27 [EMAIL PROTECTED] inetd[137]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning] /usr/local/libexec/amandad: Killed Sep 4 08:24:27 [EMAIL PROTECTED] inetd[137]: [ID 667328 daemon.error] amanda/udp server failing (looping), service terminated My /etc/services looks like this: amanda 10080/udp # Amanda 2.2.6 amandaidx 10082/tcp # Amanda 2.2.6 Inetd.conf looks like this: amanda dgram udp wait root /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad I've checked everything I can think of to see what differences there are between this client and my working clients, and I can't find anything of note. Ldd reveals that the non-working amandad links to the readline libraries (they are installed), but that's the only difference. I've reinstalled many times, with many options on and off, I've rebooted, HUP'd and kill -9'd every possible suspect. Since the service is being denied at the door, there are no amanda debug files, and all the server says is that the request timed out. Snooping the traffic shows that the client is sending back a message that the destination is unreachable. I have tried to use gdb to see if I can tease out some sort of error, but unfortunately, I know of no good way to do that with amandad. Does anyone out there have any other tips? I'd very much appreciate it. Scott Ripley DNS/VPN Administrator, HIR-Communications U.S. House of Representatives 202.226.2833 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
