Greetings:

I am setting up Amanda 2.4.4p4 on a Sun Ultra30 machine which is
running Solaris 8, configuration and make install went through all
right, but when I run "amcheck Daily", it is keep on complaining
about one of client host is down - "Warning: spain selfcheck request
timed out, Host down?", spain is another ultra30 in the same subnet
and I have ran "patch-system" on both server and client "spain"

machine already. There are also some error messages in /var/adm/messages - "inetd[138]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning] /usr/local/libexec/amandad: Killed" and " amanda/udp server failing (looping), service terminated". I have checked all the amanda documentation but no

lucks so far to solve my problem.

Is the line /etc/inetd.conf correct?  Something like this:

amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad


What happens if you start /usr/local/libexec/amandad on the commandline?

It should sit there waiting for 30 seconds and stop.  It should also
create a debug file named /tmp/amanda/amanda.DATETIMESTAMP.debug.

If you typed something the command stops immediatly and logs something
about "socket operation on non-socket", otherwise it logs "timeout"
(Not sure about exact words).
