Hi List

I have added a new Amanda client that doesn't belong to my LAN it's our
zope/web server that has a public address and is on another network it's
entry is in my dns server and in the /etc/hosts file which I thought
would be it's first port of call before asking the ns server. Both LAN
and zope/web server sit behind our firewall. Could be that because it's
on another network LAN's 192.168.1.xx broadcast 255.255.255.0 and
123.345.567.89 225.225.225.224 or can I possible use the public IPA
instead of server.my.co.uk in the DLE on the tape server. I am assuming
this is something to do with my firewall.

I have amandad running on the new amanda client. but I get the following
error when amcheck runs fron the cron.

I have created /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo/server.my.co.uk/_
directory and chown amanda.disk. Also when I run the following commands 

server:/etc/xinetd.d # netstat -a | grep -i amanda
tcp        0      0 *:amandaidx             *:*
LISTEN      
udp        0      0 *:amanda
*:*                                 
server:/etc/xinetd.d # 

server:/etc/xinetd.d # ps auxxx|egrep amanda
