Re: Ip_conntrack

We use this kernel module in some of the client machines (and theserver), otherwise if the backup takes too long we have a 'lostconnection' problem.

to set it up just do:
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_amanda master_timeout=xxx
In our case we need to set the master_timeout parameter quite high.

you need to do this anytime you restart the machine (we have added it to/etc/rc.local to have it loaded automatically)

Is ip_conntrack_amanda some module or code and if so where would it be
located.


It's a kernel module, but I don't know much more than that.  I think
it needs to be modprobe'd into the kernel, and then activated with the
appropriate iptables incantation.

I would recommend using the 'bsdtcp' authentication method instead,
although since RH5.2 was released in 1998, I expect it has
Amanda-2.3.something installed, which certainly doesn't support bsdtcp
auth.
