Hello, I have a problem making function my amanda server. Here is the situation.
Here is the output I obtain when invoquing amcheck [[[ beginning of output ]]] [EMAIL PROTECTED] amanda]$ amcheck normal Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /home/amanda/holding-list: 17734984 KB disk space available, that's plenty ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape Amanda01 (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test WARNING: tapecycle (5) <= runspercycle (5). Server check took 0.007 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: b4.uhp-nancy.fr: [access as amanda not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED] amandahostsauth failed Client check: 1 host checked in 0.016 seconds, 1 problem found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2) [[[ end of output ]]] I havn't found anything helping me dealing with amandahostsauth error in mailing lists. I searched on the internet to find some help and i tried different things advised but they weren't enough. I installed amanda-2.4.4p2 I changed permissions of the different directories where amanda has to put information, i created ~amanda/.amandahosts, making that file chmod 600 and owned by amanda:disk which is the user/group of my amanda user. Inside this file, i put : b4.uhp-nancy.fr amanda b4.uhp-nancy.fr root Here is what I have in the amandad.debug : [[[ begining ]]] amandad: debug 1 pid 31975 ruid 500 euid 500: start at Tue Jun 1 17:49:41 2004 amandad: version 2.4.4p2 amandad: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.4p2" amandad: BUILT_DATE="jeu mai 27 16:24:24 CEST 2004" amandad: BUILT_MACH="Linux b4.uhp-nancy.fr 2.4.22-26mdkenterprise #1 SMP Wed Jan 7 07:10:39 MST 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux" amandad: CC="gcc" amandad: CONFIGURE_COMMAND="'./configure' '--with-amandahosts' '--with-prefix=/usr/local' '--with-owner=amanda' '--with-group=disk' '--with-config=nor mal' '--with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg' '--with-tape-server=b4.uhp-nancy.fr' '--with-index-server=b4.uhp-nancy.fr' '--wit h-gnutar=/bin/tar' '--with-user=amanda' '-with-fqdn' '--with-tape-device=/dev/nst0' '--with-gnu-ld' '--with-changer-device=/dev/sg3' '--with-config-dir=/usr/local/etc/amanda'" amandad: paths: bindir="/usr/local/bin" sbindir="/usr/local/sbin" amandad: libexecdir="/usr/local/libexec" mandir="/usr/local/man" amandad: AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda" amandad: AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda-dbg" amandad: CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/" amandad: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/r" DUMP="/sbin/dump" amandad: RESTORE="/sbin/restore" VDUMP=UNDEF VRESTORE=UNDEF amandad: XFSDUMP=UNDEF XFSRESTORE=UNDEF VXDUMP=UNDEF VXRESTORE=UNDEF amandad: SAMBA_CLIENT="/usr/bin/smbclient" GNUTAR="/bin/tar" amandad: COMPRESS_PATH="/bin/gzip" UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/bin/gzip" amandad: LPRCMD="/usr/bin/lpr" MAILER="/usr/bin/Mail" amandad: listed_incr_dir="/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists" amandad: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="b4.uhp-nancy.fr" amandad: DEFAULT_CONFIG="normal" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="b4.uhp-nancy.fr" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="/dev/nst0" HAVE_MMAP HAVE_SYSVSHM amandad: LOCKING=POSIX_FCNTL SETPGRP_VOID DEBUG_CODE amandad: AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS=4 BSD_SECURITY USE_AMANDAHOSTS amandad: CLIENT_LOGIN="amanda" FORCE_USERID HAVE_GZIP amandad: COMPRESS_SUFFIX=".gz" COMPRESS_FAST_OPT="--fast" amandad: COMPRESS_BEST_OPT="--best" UNCOMPRESS_OPT="-dc" amandad: time 0.000: got packet: -------- Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 000-A0530608 SEQ 1086104981 SECURITY USER amanda SERVICE noop OPTIONS features=fffffeff9ffe0f; -------- amandad: time 0.000: sending ack: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-A0530608 SEQ 1086104981 ---- amandad: time 0.000: bsd security: remote host b4 user amanda local user amanda amandad: time 0.001: check failed: [access as amanda not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED] amandahostsauth failed amandad: time 0.001: sending REP packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 000-A0530608 SEQ 1086104981 ERROR [access as amanda not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED] amandahostsauth failed ---- amandad: time 0.001: got packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-A0530608 SEQ 1086104981 ---- amandad: time 0.001: pid 31975 finish time Tue Jun 1 17:49:41 2004 [[[ end amandad.debug ]]] I use an amanda.conf file that worked for another machine (with a different tape and tape driver) and i adapted things i thought were necessary. I don't know if I should put it here. (This amanda.conf was running with an amanda server version 2.4.2) A last information I don't think is really relevant for now: i'm using a PowerVault 122T (SDLT 320) with a tape changer. I have no clue on from where the problem comes from. I would be pleased to have some help. Thanks, Sylvain Zimmermann.
