Hi all,
I try to run amanda client with xinetd instead of inetd.
But, running amcheck on the amanda server seems to crash the xinetd
process on the client, and to leave a process [amandad <defunct>]. After
that, amcheck from the server results 'selfcheck timed out'. However,
there is no problem with inetd.
I wonder if it is a problem with the triplet amanda2.4.2p2/xinetd/linux
kernel 2.4, because I use amanda2.4.2p2/xinetd with a kernel 2.2 without
problem ?
Has someone already experienced this ? and how to resolve ?
I put here below :
* my xinetd.conf contents,
* the 2 processes xinetd and amandad defunct,
* and the amandad.debug in /tmp/amanda (in which I do not notice any error).
I use Linux Debian woody, if it could interests.
