Re: amrecove does not connect

I tried Jean-Louis's suggestion:
"
fiume:~ # amrecover -oauth=bsdtcp
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on localhost ...
[request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer]
"
the reply is different now and instantaneous. So I checked a bit
further and my amanda-conf file did have the auth = "bsdtcp line
already in. So after some more trials I did:
"
fiume:~ # amrecover daily
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on fiume.localnet ...
220 fiume AMANDA index server (2.5.2p1) ready.
Setting restore date to today (2007-11-27)
.....
"
and netstat -taunp | grep :1008 show the established connections.
So, it was the "daily" argument that was missing and did the trick.
My problem is solved, thanks. I am still a bit puzzled what the line:
"
conf "daily" # your config name
"
means in my amanda-conf file. Would that not set "daily" as the
default?
Again, thanks for the various replies.
Regards,
Charles
