Sorry to insist, but I'm still stuck with that stupid problem so I restarted
it from zero: I restored my whole system from a previous dump, and amcheck
worked fine so I assume my network config is OK :
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /var/amanda-hold: 4170 MB disk space available, using 4270420 MB
slot 19: read label `daily19', date `20070125160256'
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape daily19 label ok
Server check took 1.333 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.979 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.1b2)
Then I checked out the latest svn, configured (with --with-bsd-security
and --with-amandahosts), compiled and installed it, modified my
xinetd file to the following:
service amanda
{
only_from = localhost.localdomain
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsd amdump
disable = no
}
and amandahosts like this:
localhost.localdomain amanda amdump
localhost.localdomain root amindexd amidxtaped
after what I restarted xinetd but still have the same 'selfcheck request
failed' error message with amcheck. Below is the amcheck debug file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really don't see what I'm missing now... (btw, is the amanda forum a better
place for this question?)
Thanks for your help,
