That doesn't sound right to me. There should be a sendbackup log file aswell, a runtar one, and so on. Can you verify your inetd config on thatparticular client, to see whether there's something afoul? Have a look atthe system logs as well, while you're at it. amanda might be unable to runany secondary programs, for instance.

Me neither... Is there any way to increase the verbosity of amandad?inetd config is good (it's a client, so it's only got the single line foramandad), nothing in the system logs, all of the stuff in the libexecdirectory appears to have correct perms (the proper things are setuid tomy amanda user)...

Does that spell a 30s timeout somewhere? amanda.conf not taken into account,perhaps? And the obligatory question, did you double-check that there's nofirewall between that particular client and server? (If you did,triple-check. :-) )

I have bumped up all the timeouts in amanda.conf to ridiculously largevalues. :) There are firewalls, and the tcpdump trace I sent was takenwith each host's firewall software (ipfilter) disabled. Additionally, thefirewall logs blocked traffic and had nothing to say about this.


What else can I look at here?

I'm also including the tcpdump output again at the end of this message.

Thanks,
