Then I cannot figure out why I'm getting "selfcheck request timed out" from that client. The path in inetd.conf is correct, as is the user (amanda) and /tmp/amanda is owned by amanda and has debug files there (just config info). .amandaclients has localhost.fqdn as well as hostname.fqdn. That client IS running alot of IP addresses on it, but I've done that before with no trouble. Here is amcheck -c output: su-2.05b$ amcheck -c weekly Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: old.amanda.client: [host someIP.comcastbiz.net: hostname lookup failed] WARNING: new.amanda.client: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 2 hosts checked in 30.153 seconds, 2 problems found I understand the first error from the old client...there is no forward DNS on that IP (BTW, is there a way around that? Just have it look at IP address?). I can't figure out the cause of the second one...I went through everything on the FAQ-O-Matic about it... James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
