I've hit a brick wall in getting the amanda client 2.6.0 to work on
windows server 2003. I used the .msi package available on zmanda.com,
I can start inetd just fine, and xinetd too. But both of them fail to
exectue amandad.exe. Here is the error that appears in the Windows
Application logs.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: inetd
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 4/30/2008
Time: 3:55:48 PM
User: IN-UITS-GRNOCWI\sshd_server
Computer: IN-UITS-GRNOCWI
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( inetd ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: inetd: PID 5032: amanda: can't set
uid 1087: Permission denied.
uid 1087 is the amandabackup user, and it appears the sshd_server user
cannot set uid to the amandabackup user.
Any idea how to accomplish this in windows server 2003?
Thanks,
