Can anybody help me - I need to check my configuration.

Since I've brought my RH7.2 up to date and re-booted my server Amanda no
longer works.

When I run amcheck I get a HOST DOWN error.

Can anybody point me to a document which will enable me to re-check the
configuration - the original documentation only talks about inetd's config
file.

Thanks

Kevin

On the clients you will need something similar to this in /etc/xinetd.d/amanda:

service amanda
{
       socket_type             = dgram
       protocol                = udp
       wait                    = yes
       user                    = backup
       group                   = sys
       server                  = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
       disable                 = no
}

Then kill -USR2 `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid`. Sending xinetd a HUP just causes
it to write a debug file and does not cause it to re-read it's config files.
If you have xinetd on your Amanda server you will also need sections for
amandaidx and amidxtape similar to the above.
