I'm trying to configure a couple of new amanda clients, and when the amanda server was unable to get a response from them I looked in the system logs on one of the clients and I saw: Aug 11 08:32:27 client inetd[435]: /usr/local/libexec/amandad (pid 2479): exit status 127 Aug 11 08:32:27 client inetd[435]: /usr/local/libexec/amandad (pid 2480): exit status 127 Aug 11 08:32:27 client inetd[435]: amanda/udp server failing (looping or being flooded), service terminated for 10 min The first two lines are actually repeated a whole bunch of times before the final message... Any idea what could be causing this? My inetd entry looks like: amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad


Or was it "nowait", and you changed it to "wait" (or fixed the username "backup"), but forgot to sig-HUP the inetd process after you fixed it?

What happens when you execute the command "/usr/local/libexec/amandad"
as user "backup" manually?

It should timeout after 30 seconds; or if you type something on the keyboard, it will abort immediatly.
