FYI:

I was getting an amcheck ACK timeout error:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
------------------------------
--
WARNING: wilf: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.002 seconds, 1 problem found

I'm using the above version of AMANDA on a Debian system (unstable release).

This was uninspiring, as the AMANDA client and server are on the
same machine! I did have a quick fix, that isn't mentioned in the AMANDA wiki,
so I will email the list with it.



The Debian apt-get installer appends the following line to /etc/inetd.conf

amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad

I removed the /usr/sbin/tcpd argument,

amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad

restarted inetd and was rewarded with:

backup@wilf:~$ amcheck Daily
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /home/amanda: 106289492 KB disk space available, using 105265492 KBslot 1: read label `Daily-01', date `X'

Tape Daily-01 label ok
Server check took 0.820 seconds
