I'm using Amanda 2.4.5 with FreeBSD 5.4.

1.  Backups on the NATed side of our firewall work fine.

2.  Our tape server is on the NATed side of firewall.

3.  Backups through the firewall fail when I run AMCHECK.
    The error message is port NNNN not secure.

I have attempted to research the environment variables 'tcpportrange', 
'udpportrange' and
'portrange' and configure our firewall appropriately  but with no success.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.

    
There are some user-supplied responses to that question in the FAQ-o-matic:

See if any of them apply.

Jon:

Thanks for your reply.  I had previously checked out Faq-O-Matic and found nothing
new or useful to me for this problem.  The problem may be in my perseptions about this problem.

Regarding the file 'site.config'. I would like to know the difference between the
'portrange' parameter and the 'tcpportrange' parameter.  Am I supposed to use both?
Does 'tcpportrange' override 'portrange' or what?

I am afraid that much 'handholding' may be required to get me over this problem!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mike
