Having read through some of the documentation it seemed a fairly
straight forward thing to install an Amanda client. However, I
used an rpm for it, having been forced to upgrade my tar software
too but it appears to be running as amandabackup and in
/var/lib... So I'm now getting the following:
amandad: time 0.002: accept error: access as amandabackup not
allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: cannot open
/var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts: Permission denied
amandad: time 0.002: sending NAK pkt:

at the bottom of my amcheck. I've confirmed that the file is owned
and chmoded correctly:
-rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 109 Apr 25 14:23 .amandahosts
If I change the ownership or permissions it complains, so I think
they are correct. In the .amandahosts file I have
server.domain.tld amanda
server amanda
server.domain.tld amandabackup #added incase it made a difference
server amandabackup #added incase it made a difference
So can anyone make any suggestions?
Thanks
make sure that /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts is owned by amanda and
the group is set to disk "chown amanda:disk
/var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts"
Sorry, yes, it was infact owned by amanda:disk, the line I posted was
from one of the 'lets just change something and hope it works'
attempts I was having...
...
It should be owned by the user the runs the amanda software.
It seems that is "amandabackup" in your setup.
Anatomy of the errormsg:
access as amandabackup not allowed
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: cannot open /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts:
Permission denied
"amandabackup" is the local user
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] that tries to connect.
And the errormsg is that the local user "amandabackup" has no
permission to read/access the file .amandahosts .
So try:
# su amandabackup -c "cat /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts"
and fix those permissions.
OK, the story continues, thanks to all those who've contributed so
far!! Here's how things are now after all your comments. The client is
a new install of 2.5, server is 2.4.4p3
-rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 109 Apr 25 14:23 .amandahosts
/, /var, /lib, /var/lib/amanda are all readable.
xinetd.d/amanda:
=========
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
disable = no
only_from = 10.10.1.8 192.168.0.1
}
=========
but still I get this from amcheck:
ERROR: NAK murray.deanst.rroom.net: access as amandabackup not allowed
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: cannot open /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts:
Permission denied
Any more suggestions? - thanks
