Re: can't repeat "Mesg read: Connection reset by peer"

Hi all

I'm sorry if you understand my English.I have the pleasure of writing to you again.

I examine why this log "Mesg read: Connection reset by peer" is output.

To want to repeat it, I executed the following commands on the server.
- amdump daily
- iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d "IPaddress of the client" -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
- iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d "IPaddress of the client" -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

I executed the command "iptables" while executing the command "amdump".

Unfortunately, I can't repeat it.

The following error messages are output.
- data read: Connection reset by peer

I checked the URL as follow, but I don't solve the problem.

If you have done, could you tell me how to repeat it?

I consider that I can repeat it if the local valiable "n" returns "-1".
----common-src/bsd-security.c
    do {
        n = read(bs->fd, bs->databuf, sizeof(bs->databuf));
    } while ((n < 0) && ((errno == EINTR) || (errno == EAGAIN)
----

system configuration as follow:
- server/client
- OS:RHEL5
- amanda:2.5.0p2-4(bundle in RHEL5)

The result was the same though I had tried amanda2.5.2-p2.

Yours sincerely,

Hi,all

I do the following with the server to let error message "Mesg read: Connection reset by peer" reappear.
- amdump DailySet1
- iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d "IPaddress of the client" -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset(during amdump)
- iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d "IPaddress of the client" -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset(during amdump)

However, the error message is not reproduced.

The following error message "data read: Connection reset by peer" is output.

I checked the URL as follow, but I don't solve the problem.

Have you reproduced this? If there is some good method, Would you tell me how to reproduce the error message "Mesg read: Connection reset by peer"?

The system constitution is as follow:
- I use amanda2.5.0p2-4(with RHEL5) and amanda2.5.2p1(Source).
- There isn't a firewall between the server and client.

Your prompt reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
