On Wednesday, May 25, 2011 08:30:37 AM Jean-Louis Martineau did opine:
Telling me to re-read amanda-auth. I have, several times, but it is not
clear to me what else I need to do. You also asked for my complete
xinetd.d/amanda file:
-------------------------------
# default = off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
# This is the list of daemons & such it needs
service amanda
{
disable = no
# only_from = coyote.coyote.den
flags = IPv4
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
service amandaidx
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amindexd
}
service amidxtape
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amidxtaped
}
---------------------------------
xinetd has been restarted since this was edited to set it for bsdtcp, and
the dumptype's auth line has now been converted to bsdtcp. And 4063 is
getting connection refused for both clients, one of which is also this
server.
Please note that in the dbg files I have sent, the usual port is opened
successfully and then the connection is refused, so it looks like if the
port can be opened, and its the usual port (516/10080) pair, then to me
there is something wrong with the bsdtcp as installed on this machine.
If I have to specify --with-tcp-port-range as 3 whatevers (see acronyms in
PORT USAGE), then one actual example, with annotations, explains a lot more
than the 26 lines of shorthand under PORT USAGE.
AFAIK, I do not have, other than the references in /etc/services, any
"reserved" ports assigned to amanda. The configure script I use doesn't
specify anything in that regard. Should it?
I will leave it this way, waiting your reply until the next run is about
due tonight.
Thanks Jean-Louis.
