I followed the instructions from http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Configuring_bsd/bsdudp/bsdtcp_authentication#inetd_example_6
I used the following line in inetd.conf and inetconv to add the new services. amanda stream tcp nowait amandabackup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped my amanda.conf and amanda-client.conf files shows 'auth' is set to bsdtcp. amandabackup at opensolaris:~$ amcheck DailySet1 client check: 1 hosts checked, 0 problems found switched to root, root at opensolaris:~# amrecover DailySet1 and i get the following error 1258607254.088102: amrecover: pid 22822 ruid 0 euid 0 version 2.6.1p2: start at Thu Nov 19 15:37:34 2009 1258607254.088487: amrecover: pid 22822 ruid 0 euid 0 version 2.6.1p2: rename at Thu Nov 19 15:37:34 2009 1258607254.088534: amrecover: security_getdriver(name=bsd) returns fef00500 1258607254.088547: amrecover: security_handleinit(handle=807fdd0, driver=fef00500 (BSD)) 1258607254.089099: amrecover: dgram_bind: setting up a socket with family 2 1258607254.089272: amrecover: bind_portrange2: Try port 956: Available - Success 1258607254.089297: amrecover: dgram_bind: socket 4 bound to 0.0.0.0.956 1258607254.089462: amrecover: dgram_send_addr(addr=807fdf0, dgram=fef06144) 1258607254.089469: amrecover: (sockaddr_in *)807fdf0 = { 2, 10080, 127.0.0.1 } 1258607254.089473: amrecover: dgram_send_addr: fef06144->socket = 4 1258607264.090198: amrecover: dgram_send_addr(addr=807fdf0, dgram=fef06144) 1258607264.090214: amrecover: (sockaddr_in *)807fdf0 = { 2, 10080, 127.0.0.1 } 1258607264.090219: amrecover: dgram_send_addr: fef06144->socket = 4 1258607274.100136: amrecover: dgram_send_addr(addr=807fdf0, dgram=fef06144) 1258607274.100157: amrecover: (sockaddr_in *)807fdf0 = { 2, 10080, 127.0.0.1 } 1258607274.100165: amrecover: dgram_send_addr: fef06144->socket = 4 1258607284.110041: amrecover: security_seterror(handle=807fdd0, driver=fef00500 (BSD) error=timeout waiting for ACK) 1258607284.110081: amrecover: security_close(handle=807fdd0, driver=fef00500 (BSD)) Why is the log showing inetd is using bsd instead of bsdtcp? I also tried to implement the amanda service to using bsd to inetd. The line below was in my inetd.conf and gave and error when using inetconv. amanda dgram udp wait amandabackup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped the error mentioned something was inconsistent in the line above. Is the syntax correct? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
