Hello,

I'm having a problem with amrecover(8) on Linux systems.  The backup
server runs Amanda 2.5.2p1 on Debian lenny, the backup client runs
Amanda 2.4.4p3 on Debian sarge.  Running amrecover(8) on the server
works fine:

$ amrecover -C myconf -s srv -t srv
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on srv ...
220 srv AMANDA index server (2.5.2p1) ready.
[...]

But running it on the client does not:

$ amrecover -C myconf -s srv -t srv
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4p3. Contacting server on srv ...
501 Could not read config file /etc/amanda/amindexd/amanda.conf!

The relevant amindexd.*.debug on the server then looks like this:

amindexd: debug 1 pid 28092 ruid 34 euid 34: start at Fri Apr  3 17:31:45 2009
amindexd: version 2.5.2p1
could not open conf file "/etc/amanda/amindexd/amanda.conf": No such file or 
directory
amindexd: time 0.003: < 501 Could not read config file 
/etc/amanda/amindexd/amanda.conf!
amindexd: time 0.003: < 220 srv AMANDA index server (2.5.2p1) ready.
amindexd: time 0.003: ? read error: Connection reset by peer
amindexd: time 0.003: pid 28092 finish time Fri Apr  3 17:31:45 2009

That file (/etc/amanda/amindexd/amanda.conf) indeed does not exist on
the server, but I can't find any references to it in the documentation.
What am I missing?


TIA, Jukka
