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?
By pointing out that the wait, socket type, and protocol also change. If
it is mentioned, it is not mentioned in the context that seems to apply.
It is in the example for xinetd configuration for bsdtcp, what is wrong
with that example?
Now, I have done those changes to my local xinetd.d/amanda, so it looks like
this:
[root@coyote example]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
# 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 shop.coyote.den
flags = IPv4
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
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
#}
And amcheck is now happy with _this_ machine. However when I made similar
changes to the shop machines inetd.conf as show by this grep:
I changed inetd.conf on the shop machine to:
amanda stream tcp nowait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsdtcp
amdump
But the amcheck still fails:
WARNING: shop: selfcheck request failed: Connection refused
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 10.050 seconds. 1 problem found.
inetd config looks good, do you restarted inetd daemon?
That amcheck*debug is attached. I also found the log files on the shop
machine, but these amcheck runs are not generating a log.
If inetd do not execute amandad, then amandad is not run and it can
write a log file.
You must check the inetd log.
