Amanda version: 2.5.0
Linux: Fedora Core 4
Windows Amanda client: Downloaded from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amanda-win32/amanda-clients-2.5.0-2001062
8.zip?use_mirror=nchc and installed it on the Windows platform. The amandad
service is successfully starting by running the rc.amandad batch script on
the Windows side.
On the Amanda server (running Linux OS), we did the appropriate
configuration of the amanda build by running the following configuration
line:
./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup
And successfully did the make and 'make install' as well (after creating
the
user 'amanda' and group 'backup')
We went and created the appropriate entries in the amandahosts file in the
following format and placed it in the home directory of Amanda user:
<Servername> <Amanda user name>
The amcheck utility is throwing out an error stating that "access as amanda
not allowed from amanda@SVNHOME". Is there an issue running the client on
Windows and the server on the Linux server? The basic communication between
the amandad client and the amcheck run on the server seems to be fine since
the name of the server gets succesfully printed on the amandad client
window
when a request for a connection goes successfully to the client.
Is there a requirement that we need to run Cygwin mandatorily on the
Windows
client for getting this up and running?
