Hi,
I have been running into problems that some of my systems are heavily used for long computations making them somewhat less responsive.
Last night I ran into the issue that four systems did not send acknowledgments back to the dumper on time during the planning process:
planner: ERROR Request to werner.richmond.edu failed: timeout waiting for ACK
I looked into allowing more time for that stage, which I believe etimeout should allow, but my amanda.conf has 'etimeout 600' in it while the planner's debug file ends with: security_seterror(handle=0x3038a0, driver=0xa2a0c (BSD) error=timeout waiting for ACK) 
security_close(handle=0x3038a0, driver=0xa2a0c (BSD))
planner: time 29.898: pid 3734 finish time Tue Nov 27 00:45:36 2007

suggesting that it still only waits for 30 seconds.

Am I setting the wrong timeout?
I am running Amanda version 2.5.1p1 on RH WS4 systems, with the backup server a Mac OS X box. 

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
René
