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 for amandad), nothing in the system logs, all of the stuff in the libexec directory appears to have correct perms (the proper things are setuid to my amanda user)...

No, but in the tcpdump trace below, I would add "-n 1500 -X" to verify
what exactly is sent.

OK, here we go. It looks like it's sending a request to get the size of everything in the disklist for that server, which I think is the correct next step. This one is really big, so I'll just link to it:

http://bway.net/~spork/amanda-tcpdump.txt

You'll note that the "frags" thing is still set, but if you compare what the server sent to what the client received, it is identical.

I'm totally stumped here. We had another server just start doing the same thing the other day. They are all on the same subnet/lan/switch, two don't work, the remaining 10 or so do.

If you're brave, yYou could also try to "strace" planner.
Because planner is a suid-root program, you need to make an "strace"
copy with has also the suid-root bit set.  Then add that command in
the amdump shell script around line 100, which then becomes a long line:

/usr/local/bin/strace-suid -o /tmp/planner-strace -s 1500 $libexecdir/planner$SUF "$@" | ...driver...

I'd really like to try and ktrace "amandad" on h13 to see if it sees this last thing come in or not. Another odd thing I'm noting in the tcpdump is taht all the other commands that aren't fragmented have a "UDP checksum OK" message...

Really open to any ideas on this one.

Thanks,

Charles

(and don't forget to remove the strace-suid program afterwards!)
