Sorry for dropping the subject line earlier, this is just a re-send with a more 
helpful subject.

I've been working with the cygwin/amanda installation and have gradually 
increased the etimeout/dtimeout settings all the way up to:

etimeout 14400
dtimeout 14400

thinking that the 'index tee cannot write' error was coming from the server not 
seeing anything for awhile.  However, even at this level it quits after 2.5 
hours and I only have the following errors to work from.  The sendbackup log at 
the client doesn't show anything more revealing.

Is anybody successfully backing up Windows 2000 PCs with this combination?  I'm 
not sure why the server seems to abort the connection after a period of time.  
I've been following recommendations from others at 
http://randomnotes.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Amanda-Cygwin-HOWTO.html and on the 
mailing list.

Thanks,

-Matt
