I'm trying to migrate an amanda client, SGI/IRIX with amanda 2.4.1p1
from server Solaris 9 with amanda 2.4.4 to a server Solaris 10 with
amanda 2.6.1.

I have an error, but don't see anything standing out in the client's
/tmp/amanda tree.

FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:

Did I cross a threshhold on versioning ?

You'd think I could easilly find this on the internet but no.

I'd thought there was a client server protocal issue at 2.4.0,
did I misremember or am I looking at a different issue ?

This page suggests that I can work with clients older than 2.5.1, but
I'm not sure its not a client/server protocal issue and not rather
than a communications issue.

Suggested that auth "bsd" would allow me to backup older clients. But
that wasn't the solution for me.

                                                thank you,

                                                Brian
