Re: Help with amanda client on SCO 5.0.5...Please

Gene,
   I'm not sure which version of tar I'm using.
'tar --version' outputs:

--snip--

tar (GNU tar) 1.13

The date stamp on the source tarball, on the SCO machine is "july 25"and the newest one on ftp.gnu.org/pub/tar is "july 8 1999". I had tocompile it because SCO's tar is not gnu. It compiled fine and appears towork ("tar -czvf [file] . " makes a nice compressed tarball)

Hi group,
  I'm having trouble getting amanda client to work on SCO 5.0.5.
The 'amcheck' program says everything is ok but, when I run
'amdump' it always times out and I get the following errors
emailed back to me.

Amanda seems to compile ok I'm using gnutar-1.13 and


What sub-revision?  It really should be 1.13-25 for best results.

amanda-2.4.2p2. Can anyone help explain these error messages and
point me in the direction to fix the problem?

thanks,
chris
