Well I am getting a little closer. My cygwin client is a Window2003 server.
When I do a amcheck from the amanda server to the cygwin client behind the firewall I now get the following in the events log on the cygwin client. "....The following information is part of the event: inetd: PID 2280: amanda: can't set uid 18: Permission denied..... "...The following information is part of the event: inetd: PID 2764: /local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandad: exit status 0x100." So now I am at least getting to the inetd service. The following are some things that I have done to tray an track down why amanda can't set uid 18: 1) I have run /local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandad manually and it times out after 30 seconds. >From the amandad.debug when run manually. amandad: time 30.000: dgram_recv: timeout after 30 seconds amandad: error receiving message: timeout amandad: time 30.000: error receiving message: timeout amandad: time 30.000: pid 2276 finish time Fri Jul 14 10:31:47 2006 2) I have compared my Window2003 system with a working WinXP client that works. I compared the /tmp/amanda, /etc/amandate, /local/..../var/gunlist-tar, services, ineted.conf, .amandahosts, /etc/passwd, to make sure the permissions and owner are the same. I can telnet from the server to the client and I can make a connection so I believe inetd is work. 3) I have looked in the /var/log/inetd.log. No messages. 4) There are no messages in /tmp/amanda. 5) I have recompiled amanda. 6) This is my inetd.conf amanda entry. amanda dgram udp wait SYSTEM /local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandadamandadDo you see anything wrong. I realize that this is probably a cygwin news group question but just want to ask it anyone else had this problem on a Window2003 client. Do you have any other ideas on where to look for error messages or how to glean error messages from this run? _____________________________________________________________________ Robert P.
