Well I am getting a little closer.

My cygwin client is a Window2003 server.

When I do a amcheck from the amanda server to the cygwin client behind the
firewall I now get the following in the events log on the cygwin client.

"....The following information is part of the event: inetd: PID 2280:
amanda: can't set uid 18: Permission denied.....

"...The following information is part of the event: inetd: PID 2764:
/local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandad: exit status 0x100."

So now I am at least getting to the inetd service.

The following are some things that I have done to tray an track down why 
amanda can't set uid 18:


1) I have run /local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandad manually and it
times out after 30 seconds.

>From the amandad.debug when run manually.

amandad: time 30.000: dgram_recv: timeout after 30 seconds
amandad: error receiving message: timeout
amandad: time 30.000: error receiving message: timeout
amandad: time 30.000: pid 2276 finish time Fri Jul 14 10:31:47 2006

2) I have compared my Window2003 system with a working WinXP client that
works. I compared the /tmp/amanda, /etc/amandate, /local/..../var/gunlist-tar, 
services, ineted.conf, .amandahosts, /etc/passwd, to make sure the permissions 
and owner are the same.

I can telnet from the server to the client and I can make a connection so I 
believe inetd is work.

3) I have looked in the /var/log/inetd.log. No messages.

4) There are no messages in /tmp/amanda.

5) I have recompiled amanda.

6) This is my inetd.conf amanda entry.

amanda  dgram   udp     wait    SYSTEM  
/local/Amanda/amanda-2.4.5p1/libexec/amandadamandadDo you see anything wrong.

I realize that this is probably a cygwin news group question but just want to 
ask it anyone else had this problem on a Window2003 client. Do you have any 
other ideas on where to look for error messages or how to glean error messages 
from this run?
