Think about the configuration as having network -- it's just that the machine you are connecting to is the local machine. You have to configure your setup for that just like you would if it were across the wire.
Also, in general, be sure to check your logs. Not only the amanda logs in /tmp/amanda/, but the logs in /var/adm/. I've figured out some pretty odd-ball stuff by looking through logs. For example, /var/adm/authlog showed me that one client I had configured and addressed via one subnet was coming back at me with a name based on it's presence in another subnet that it was multihomed on. Changing my .amandahosts fixed that, although I ought to go back and see why the client did what it did. I also saw an instance where an error was reported with an IPv6 address, but I had not installed or configured IPv6. I think when Solaris failed on the connection, it was trying alternatives and reported the last thing it tried, but that could just be my imagination running wild. Anyway, it was another minor configuration error discovered by reading log files. --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------- Erdös 4 Jean-Louis Martineau wrote: > Maybe localhost resolv to an IPv6 address and that network is not > configured? > >grep localhost /etc/hosts > >netstat -nr > Add 'debug_auth 1' to amanda.conf and retry. > Post the taper.*.debug and dumper.*.debug files. > > Jean-Louis > > Paul Crittenden wrote: >> >> I have set up amanda-2.5.2p1 on Solaris 9, with it being the server >> and client.
