Hi,
I have this problem that's getting me mad!
Amanda used to work very fine between the backup server (gentoo/ Amanda
installed through "emerge amanda"), and my personal pc (ubuntu/ Amanda
installed through "apt-get install amanda-client").
Now we have moved the backup server to a different network zone and now the
Amanda client is installed on a server on the same zone (no firewall). The
client has gentoo installed, and since there's no amanda-client in gentoo
portage amanda is installed (client with server) "emerge amanda" < I'm not
sure if this can cause problems >.
The situation right know is as the following:
The backup server:
---------------------
$ hostname -f
backup.xxxx.com
/etc/amanda/amandahosts:
auth02.xxxx.com root
/etc/amanda/daily/disklist:
auth02 /etc comp-user-tar
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda:
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
cat /etc/services | grep amanda
amanda 10080/tcp # amanda backup services
amanda 10080/udp
kamanda 10081/tcp # amanda backup services
(Kerberos)
kamanda 10081/udp
amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services
amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services
The client:
------------
hostname -f
auth02.xxxx.com
/etc/amanda/amandahosts:
backup.xxxx.com amanda
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda:
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
}
cat /etc/services | grep amanda
amanda 10080/tcp # amanda backup services
amanda 10080/udp
kamanda 10081/tcp # amanda backup services
(Kerberos)
kamanda 10081/udp
amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services
amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services
Now when:
backup ~ # su - amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck daily":
WARNING: auth02.xxxx.com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 29.999 seconds, 1 problem found
What do you suggest? I tried a lot but couldn't get it to work, is there
something missing on the client? Something wrong? Is it a problem with
amanda service? Maybe a permissions problem?
Thanks in advance
