Hi,

 

I am running Amanda 2.4.5 on FC3 (server and client).

I have a problem with amcheck and FQDN names.

I cannot get amcheck to successfuly check my config if I don't explicitely use the FQDN name of the host to "amcheck".

I have rebuilded the product with --with-fqdn but no change. I have tried to put the fqdn name in my disklist but no change either.

 

I am down to a basic config (1 server and 1 client running on same system) to demonstrate the problem.

 

Here is <hostname> info on my system:

 [reddog] (amanda) linux> hostname
 reddog
 [reddog] (amanda) linux> dnsdomainname
 gpv.az05.bull.com
 [reddog] (amanda) linux> hostname --fqdn
 reddog.gpv.az05.bull.com

Here is my disklist:

 [reddog] (amanda) linux> cat ~amanda/etc/linux/disklist
 reddog  hda1 comp

Here is the problem:

[reddog] (amanda) linux> amcheck -c linux

 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
 --------------------------------
 WARNING: reddog: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
 Client check: 1 host checked in 29.996 seconds, 1 problem found

 

 [reddog] (amanda) linux> amcheck -c linux reddog

 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
 --------------------------------
 WARNING: reddog: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
 Client check: 1 host checked in 29.997 seconds, 1 problem found

 

 [reddog] (amanda) linux> amcheck -c linux reddog.gpv.az05.bull.com

 Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
 --------------------------------
 Client check: 0 hosts checked in 0.001 seconds, 0 problems found

I have another config on the same server that backups AIX systems that works fine w/o specifying fqdn names?
