On the server I changed the DLE dumptype of my user-tar2 which
specifies auth bsdtcp.

On the client changed the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
socket_type from dgram to stream
protocal from udp to tcp
  and
server_args from -auth=bsd amdump to -auth=bsdtcp amdump

and restarted the xinetd on the client.

This didn't work... don't know what I missed, and reverted
the changes because I'd thought I was close the other way...

Q1: What did I miss?

I moved the amanda-client.conf from /etc/amanda/DailySet1/ to
/etc/amanda and began removing lines that the amdump report
said where invalid. I quickly decided to google it and found
the 15-minute install guide and trashed my amanda-client.conf,
leaving only the following lines.


[root@stema amanda]# more amanda-client.conf
conf "curie"
auth "bsd"
unreserved-tcp-port 1083,10101
reserved-udp-port 931,949

Now when I run # amdump curie stemcell-stage, on the server
the amanda report shows:

  stemcell-stage /etc lev 1  FAILED [too many dumper retry: [could not
      connect DATA stream: can't connect stream to stema.wadsworth.org port
      1753: Connection timed out]]

Not sure where I'm goofing this up.

Not against using BSDTCP, just don't understand why I can't seem
to configure it.

                                                thank you,

                                                Brian
