I've been using amanda fairly successfully with a 9-tape LTO library and samba to backup a dozen or so windows shares. I'm now moving on to using it to backup linux clients, and I've hit a problem. I'm using amanda-2.4.3-4 on RH 9.0 (the distro release), and running
amcheck -c DailyBacup clienthost
starts a dialogue between the server & clienthost, but it doesn't complete. Here's the log from the client:

As you can see, the server starts the communication OK, the client replies, then the client doesn't recognise the next server packet as an ack. I can go digging in the source, or try the Rawhide 2.4.4 version, but maybe there's something I'm missing. I've had a look through the archives, and I can't see an answer to this. Anybody?
