I have been trying to get this issue resloved all week, and finally decided to ask others. I did searching on the web and tried what I have read, but no success.
I am using Amanda 2.5.1. Yes, I know it is old, but it works. Well, it had been working until I moved everything to a different machine. The new machine is running Fedora 14. Amanda is built from source. I used the configuration files (amanda.conf, disklist,...) from my old set up. I am backing up the data to disk. My linux backups work without issue. My Windows boxes all fail with this error when running amcheck: WARNING: tempserv1: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK The planner debug file has lines like the following: planner: time 0.099: connect_portrange: connect to 192.168.52.131.10080 failed:\ Connection refused planner: stream_client: Could not bind to port in range 50000 - 50040. planner: stream_client: Could not bind to any port: Connection refused security_seterror(handle=0x81d2ea0, driver=0xd27140 (BSDTCP) error=Connection r\ efused) I built the programs with configure options that included the following: --with-udpportrange=850,854 --with-tcpportrange=50000,50040 --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient I did copy over the .amandahosts file from the old machine to the knew. I also made sure that xinetd amanda file was the same. Well, here is the current one: service amanda { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = operator group = root server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad server_args = -auth=bsd amdump } I dont think the one from the old machine had the -auth=bsd amdump lines. The ip address, 192.168.52.131, is the localhost. Netstat show the following: tcp 0 0 :::10082 :::* LIST EN udp 0 0 :::10080 :::* So the ports are open. I have turned off iptables. Both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.52.131 are in the hosts.allow file. I do have other older fedora installs with the amanda 2.5.1 that are able to talk to otehr windows boxes without issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try next. I think the problem is simple, but I must have my blinders on and can't see the solution. Thanks
