I’m not actually getting any debug files in /tmp/amanda on my client machine (database01).

Does this probably mean amandad isn’t being run on startup?

If I manually try to start amandad a debug file appears, so I believe all the directory permissions are ok.

Hi.

 

Having recently setup Amanda I'm having the following problem.

 

Performing an amcheck gives:

 

WARNING: database01: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?

 

Originally I thought this was a shorewall [firewall] problem as it reported that it was rejecting packets on port 10080. Having allowed 100800 both ways, no further packets are rejected. However I still have the same problem.

 

I'm using SuSE 8.2 with the Amanda RPM that came with SuSE 9.0 (amanda-2.4.4p1-62.i586.rpm).

 

Does anyone have any advice to offer?

 

Thanks in advance...
