Change it to:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped

Other arguments should only be used for amandad.

amrecover from 2.5.2p1 and 2.4.4p3 use different protocol to communicate with the server.

What's the xinetd configuration for the amindexd and amidxtaped network services on the server?

(The systems in question use obsd inetd instead of xinetd, but this shouldn't
matter AFAICT...)

amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd 
amindexd -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped 
amidxtaped -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped

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

directory

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
