This is a configuration for bsd auth, is it what you are using for that
client?
amadmin CONF disklist CLIENT-NAME | grep -i auth
This comes back as BSD because its set that way so 4040 will work.
Your amcheck debug files show your dle are configured for bsdtcp!!!
THERE IS A MISMATCH.
Obviously. As I stated, that was after I had reset it so that 4040 worked.
All dles for one client must use the same AUTH (auth in the dumptype),
and the xinetd for that client must also be configured for that auth.
The first thing to do and decide with auth you want to use.
If you want to use BSD, then the fix your dumptype.
If you want to use bsdtcp, then fix your xinetd configuration (man
amanda-auth, check the example for bsdtcp)
Ok, I will do that. And then reinstall 4048. Starting with the xinetd.d:
So now I have:
You can verify which auth the server try to use by looking at the
amcheck debug file, it is in uppercase.
I just did, "BSDTCP".
[root@coyote ~]# su - amanda -c "grep -i auth /etc/xinetd.d/amanda"
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
xinetd was restarted here.
And an amcheck with 4040 is a total failure.
Next, fix amanda.conf...

Amcheck is still 100% connection refused for the 4040 install.
Now install 4048. Done.

Now I've blown away the 4048 tree, and restarting the install from the
tarball. Exactly the same, now trying 4058 since I grabbed it an hour ago.
Exactly the same except for the version reported by amcheck.
And, just for grins, 4063. And I just found iptables is running, so I
stopped it before 4063 has finished. Its no great loss, I am behind DD-WRT
here, and nothing gets through that unless I give them the password, and it
would take John the Ripper long past the universe running down to guess
that password.
But that didn't make any diff either:
install done, now running amcheck as the user amanda

Now, I have about 40 minutes to restore things so that 4040 will run
tonight. But I will attach the last amcheck-*-debug first. Done.
Thanks Jean-Louis
