Re: Inexplicable amandahostsauth failure
2003-01-16 06:05:48
I've had auth problems with one of the hosts I'm backing up for some
time; amcheck says
# amcheck -c ks
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: bmw: [access as amanda not allowed from root@<server>]
amandahostsauth failed
I found out what was going on after all; it turned out to be a hostname
lookup issue. An official hostname for the Amanda server different from
the one on most other machines would be returned on this particular host
due to an extra entry in /etc/hosts. (The name usually comes from DNS.)
I guess I should list more of the alternative names (there are a lot due
to local alias setup and because we have registered several names for our
domain) in .amandahosts...
Question: Can I use regexps in the file?
