Hi there,

For a few days I am trying to communicate my freebsd 6.1 client with my amanda server. But I still got this message “dgram_send_addr: sendto(X.X.X.X.953) failed: Socket is already connected” at /tmp/amanda files.

 

Well my service has run file that has  “exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid amanda /usr/local/bin/netcat -l -u -p 10080 -e /usr/local/libexec/amandad >/dev/null 2>/dev/null”  in it. If you look the command you can see that “–q 0” parameter is missing, which is used in default amanda documantation (http://www.amanda.org/docs/install.html), because when I use it, service fails to start with out giving any message.

 

I installed netcat instead of using nc but it doesn’t improve situation. Still can not use “-q 0”. Well, when I try to see what is the meaning of –q parameter I can not see a –q parameter in man pages. (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html)

 

I configured firewall to allow with any any port communication on udp and tcp between clien and server.

 

Any ideas pls? I am out of idea.
