If you are running 2.5.1 or 2.5.1p1, these xinetd and .amandahosts entries

require changes. See

Hey All,

  I keep getting this error for one of my hosts.

selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
Client check: 4 hosts checked in 30.153 seconds, 1 problem found

I have added this in my amandaclient file in the xinetd.d directory.

service amanda
{
       disable         = no
       socket_type     = dgram
       protocol        = udp
       wait            = yes
       user            = amandabackup
       group           = disk
       groups          = yes
       server          = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
}

And I have this added to the .amandahosts file.

localhost   amandabackup
localhost.localdomain   amandabackup
amanda.transolutions.net amandabackup
amanda.transolutions.net root


Am I missing something? I have restarted the xinetd.d service. It is
hard to restart the service because this is a heavily used production
server. The server is running RHE4.
