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
}
I don't remember how many times I told you to look at the man
page!!!!!!!!!!!
Please look at the example for bsdtcp in the amanda-auth man page:
Client example of using bsdtcp authorization for xinetd server
and for Amanda user "amandabackup":
service amanda
{
only_from = amandaserver.example.com
amandaclient.example.com
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /path/to/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump
disable = no
}
Now that you finally posted your xinetd file, I can tell you what's wrong.
Fix the socket_type, protocol and wait lines.
Tell me how the man page can be improved?
