Hi,
I'm using debian woody, amanda 2.4.2.
I'm only backing up the server to a local tape device.
I got the following problems.
In inetd.conf are the following lines:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad
Everything is OK.
After changing those lines to and 'kill -HUP <pid of inetd>':
amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
Now amcheck gives me the message that the client host is down.
Changing back to the first version of inetd.conf and doing 'kill -HUP
<pid of inetd>' doesn't resolve the problem. Only after rebooting
everything works again.
In my hosts.allow is the following:
ALL: ulysses.lan.publivandyck.be
ALL: ulysses.lan.ulysses.be
ALL: localhost
What could cause the need to reboot?
Why doesn't it work with tcpd?
Marc.
