I am having a problem with getting amcheck to run cleanly with a new
client I have just added. It seems that the problem is quite common,
but I still cannot figure it out.
I am trying to install Amanda-2.5.2 from source on Redhat Enterprise 5.
I have it configured and working properly on the server named 'amanda'.
By properly, amcheck finishes clean, I can get amdump to backup a
directory on the server, and I can use amrecover to look at the files
and use amrestore to restore a file.
Now I am trying to install the client on a server named 'datas'. I
copied over the amanda install directory, added the services to
/etc/services, and copied the amanda service file to /etc/xinetd.d.
I also modified the /home/amanda/.amandahosts file to look like:
amanda amanda amdump
amanda root amrecover
amanda root amandad amindexd amidxtaped
datas amanda amdump
datas root amrecover
datas root amandad amindexd amidxtaped
The /home filesystem is an NFS mount on both systems. I have tried
having the /home filesystem be local and it made no difference.
The user amanda and the group amanda have consistent uid and gid on
both systems.
My disklist is:
amanda /var/log root-tar
datas /home user-tar
So I try to run amcheck -cl daily, and I get the following response:
[amanda@amanda daily]$ amcheck -cl daily

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

I have tried setting the permissions on the ~/.amandahosts file
to 400 and 600 (as I saw in other posts), but this did not help.
The /tmp/amanda*amandad file doesn't help much (to me at least):

I have turned off the firewall (/etc/init.d/iptables stop) on both
nodes to make sure that isn't the problem. I have tried putting
the FQDN in the .amandahosts but that doesn't help either.
I would appreciate any ideas on getting this to work.
Thanks,
Craig
