RE: Yet another selfcheck problem

I figured it out. I looked at the /var/adm/messages logs and it told me to run the command:

inetconv -i /etc/inet/inet.conf, since I had made changes in the inetd.conf file. That got rid of the no ACK error. Then amcheck told me what host name was actually being used so I changed the .amandahosts file. Then I had some permissions problems that I corrected.

The /tmp/amanda permissions problem I figured out by finding a Unix Guide that told me it was the set gid bit. The s is lowercase if group has execute permission and uppercase if it does not.

Taking a break for a couple of hours helped.

Subject: Yet another selfcheck problem

I am setting up a new sun server running Solaris 10. I think I have set things up correctly. I am getting the error: WARNING: xx.yy.zz: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK.

I have searched the archives and tried everything suggested.

2 things I notice:

1. my permissions on /tmp/amanda are not correct and I can’t figure out how to fix it. They rwx------ and should be rwx—S---.

2. I have no amandad folder in /tmp/amanda and no log files are created under /tmp/amanda/client/Daily.

Here is my amcheck log:
