Hi,

What version of Amanda are you using? ssh support was added to Amanda 2.5.0.

the "Did not receive identification string from::ffff:10.10.32.247" should not have anything to do with Amanda. Seems to me someone try to login as amanda to that machine.

Couple things to check, is amandad started correctly on the client?
1) /etc/init.d/xinetd restart and see if there is any error on /var/log/messages.

2) any error in /tmp/amanda/amcheck*.debug?

Thanks!

amcheck -m Daily

/var/log/secure gives me this:


[root@amanda log]# tail secure
