Re: amanda cygwin question(s)

I am running Amanda 2.4.5P1 server on a Solaris 10 host.

I want to back up a WindowXP client using cygwin software.

The files on my cygwin system look like

        --/etc/inetd.conf--
        amanda  dgram  udp  wait  SYSTEM
/local/Amanda/amanda/libexec/amandad    amandad

        --/etc/service--
        amanda          10080/udp        #AMANDA backup services
        amandaidx       10082/tcp        #AMANDA backup services
        amidxtape       10083/tcp        #AMANDA backup services


        --passwd--
        SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:/home/root:
        root:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:/home/root

When I run amcheck on the amanda server I get:

        zorn->[42] > ./sbin/amcheck -c daily coriolis
        Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
        --------------------------------
        WARNING: coriolis: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
        Client check: 1 host checked in 30.025 seconds, 1 problem found
        (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.5p1)

If I run nc (netcat) I get:

        ##R##-zorn->[87] ##> ./nc -v -z -u coriolis 10080
        coriolis.math.purdue.edu [128.210.3.202] 10080 (amanda) open

It seems that I can make a UDP connection.

Also I ran ldd.sh on amandad.exe and got the following:

        C:/cygwin/local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandad.exe
          C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
                C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
             C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
             C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
             C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll

I assume that this shows that amanda.exe does not have any unknown
libraries.

Any idea why the amcheck times out?  Where else should I investigate?

What happens if you start "amandad" on the client itself.
It should start, sit there for 30 seconds and exit (unless you type
something, in which case it will stop immediately, as amandad does
not understand what you type).
