I've been having a bit of trouble adding a client today and just wanted to get a reality check
before I bang my head too much.
My new server with Amanda 3.3.6 is temporarily on a private address inside our department NAT. I was
just trying today to add a 2.5.3 client that is in another department on a public address. I can ssh
to it, and I am using auth=ssh. I've got the keys set up. One thing I noticed is that the key was
specifying /usr/local/libexec/amandad, but the newer Amanda was calling for
/usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad. I tried working around that by creating the directory on the
client and symlinking all the executables into the directory. After that, I at least was getting
debug files on the client (before it had been nothing).
Am I going to be able to get this working? Or is it an insurmountable problem to be on a private
address behind the NAT?
It seems from http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda-compatibility.7.html that the versions ought not to
be an issue, but I don't know what other things besides the amanda directory in libexec might be
getting tangled up between the older Amanda and the newest Amanda.
At the moment, I'm still getting "selfcheck request failed: EOF on read".
