Check the ReleaseNotes:
* The default auth is changed to "bsdtcp", if you are using the default bsd
 then you must add it to your configuration.
   o in amanda.conf
   o in amanda-client.conf
   o in dumptype/disklist
   o in xinetd (if no '-auth' argument to amandad)

As you are still using BSD, you must update your dumptype to specify it.
Or better, fix your xinetd for bsdtcp.

Greetings;

Using my usual scripts to install Amanda 4.0.0alpha.svn.4048, which
does an amcheck as the final install check, from that script:

Absolutely zip in the logs.

which has not been changed in at least a year.

Client check: 2 hosts checked in 10.016 seconds.  2 problems found.

==========================

Reinstalling the slightly older version I ran last night, the amcheck
is fine:
[root@coyote amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.4026]# su - amanda -c "amcheck
Daily" Amanda Tape Server Host Check

Holding disk /usr/dumps: 435064832 kB disk space available, using
434552832 kB
Searching for label 'Dailys-17':found in slot 17: volume 'Dailys-17'
Will write to volume 'Dailys-17' in slot 17.

Server check took 0.209 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 2.363 seconds.  0 problems found.

(brought to you by Amanda 4.0.0alpha.svn.4026)

And the backup ran normally on 4026. I just took the printout from the printer & stacked it with the rest of the printouts.

My configure script gh.cf:
===================
./configure --with-user=amanda \
        --with-group=disk \
        --with-owner=amanda \
        --with-gnu-ld \
        --prefix=/usr/local/ \
        --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
        --with-tape-server=coyote \
        --with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts \
        --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda \
        --with-gnutar=/bin/tar
======================

I did find the attached amcheck logfile in /tmp/amanda-dbg/server/Daily.
Its time roughly corresponds to the failed amcheck. It is the only file that fell out of a "grep -R refused /tmp/amanda-dbg"

Thanks Jean-Louis
