Thanks for the responses so far folks....
Ok. I have 2 hosts tapesrv and bkpclient The error message is:
+++++++++ running on tapesvr +++++
$ amcheck -c daily
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: tapesvr.b.c.uk: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 30.072 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.5)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is no firewall between tapesvr and bkpclient.
When I start amandad from the bkpclient as user amanda it does indeed sit there for 30secs and then terminates.
I get nothing useful or conspicuous lets say from /tmp/amanda/*.debug
My .amandahosts file goes like this on "tapesvr" :
tapesvr amanda
tapesvr root
bkpclient.b.c.uk amanda
bkpclient.b.c.uk root
I'm not sure about the commands in solaris of how to check if the connections are comming in.
Thx

We miss the exact error messages. :-)

Is the amandad client started and gives an error or isn't it started
at all?
What happens when you start the amandad client from a command line?
It should sit there for 30 seconds and than terminate. Or do you get
any error message there.
Verify that the amandad program is indeed started by inetd.
Any
output in /tmp/amanda/*.debug on the client?
