I am in the process of learning Amanda and I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having.
I have been using this website as a starting point: http://www.howtoforge.com/disk_based_backups_amanda_debian_etch We have a Debian etch machine as a server and 2 clients and everything is working but now we want to add a Debian sarge machine as a client and the result is: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK Amanda on the Sarge machine is installed from backports.org and is the same version as on the etch machines. >From the Sarge machine service amanda { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = backup group = backup groups = yes server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad # server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump } I have tried different server_args to see if I can make it work, but the result is always more amcheck.20071128151818.debug amcheck: debug 1 pid 8229 ruid 34 euid 0: start at Wed Nov 28 15:18:18 2007 amcheck: debug 1 pid 8229 ruid 34 euid 34: rename at Wed Nov 28 15:18:18 2007 security_getdriver(name=BSD) returns 0xb7f330e0 security_handleinit(handle=0x805e6c0, driver=0xb7f330e0 (BSD)) amcheck-clients: time 0.001: bind_portrange2: Try port 860: Available - Success amcheck-clients: time 0.001: dgram_bind: socket bound to 0.0.0.0.860 amcheck-clients: dgram_send_addr(addr=0xbf959f00, dgram=0xb7f34084) amcheck-clients: time 0.003: (sockaddr_in *)0xbf959f00 = { 2, 10080, 192.168.10.24 } amcheck-clients: dgram_send_addr: 0xb7f34084->socket = 4 changer_query: changer return was 5 1 changer_query: searchable = 0 changer_find: looking for NULL changer is searchable = 0 amcheck-clients: dgram_send_addr(addr=0xbf959df0, dgram=0xb7f34084) amcheck-clients: time 10.005: (sockaddr_in *)0xbf959df0 = { 2, 10080, 192.168.10.24 } amcheck-clients: dgram_send_addr: 0xb7f34084->socket = 4 amcheck-clients: dgram_send_addr(addr=0xbf959df0, dgram=0xb7f34084) amcheck-clients: time 20.003: (sockaddr_in *)0xbf959df0 = { 2, 10080, 192.168.10.24 } amcheck-clients: dgram_send_addr: 0xb7f34084->socket = 4 security_seterror(handle=0x805e6c0, driver=0xb7f330e0 (BSD) error=timeout waiting for ACK) security_close(handle=0x805e6c0, driver=0xb7f330e0 (BSD)) amcheck: pid 8229 finish time Wed Nov 28 15:18:48 2007 The version of xinet is different from the etch server and the sarge machine, the sarge machine is also a samba server and swat is running as a xinet service. Any advice would be great
