Hi,

i have successfully made a backup with amanda 2.4.4p2
(self-compiled). Great! But now i run into problems
recovering the data. Any hints would be greatly
appreciated...

kirk:/var/log/amanda # amrecover -C full
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4p2. Contacting server on kirk ...
amrecover: Unexpected end of file, check amindexd*debug
on server kirk

The amindex debug file:
kirk:/var/log/amanda # cat amindexd.20040506172642.debug
amindexd: debug 1 pid 17865 ruid 37 euid 37: start at
Thu May  6 17:26:42 2004
amindexd: version 2.4.4p2

and the amrecover debug file:
kirk:/var/log/amanda # cat
amrecover.20040506172642.debug
amrecover: debug 1 pid 17864 ruid 0 euid 0: start at
Thu May  6 17:26:42 2004
amrecover: stream_client_privileged: connected to
192.168.1.74.10082
amrecover: stream_client_privileged: our side is
0.0.0.0.762

That's all. To me it seems like the amindex daemon is
making trouble, although the .amandahosts file is ok. 

This is my xinetd entry for amindex:
kirk:/var/log/amanda # cat /etc/xinetd.d/amandaidx
service amandaidx
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        server          = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
        groups          = yes
        server_args     = amindexd
}

And here the amandahosts file:

amanda@kirk:/home/kai> cat ~/.amandahosts
kirk.bbaw.de amanda
kirk.bbaw.de root
kirk.bbaw.de

Any ideas?
thanks,
Kai
