the dreaded selfcheck request failed.

Presently we are running Amanda-2.5.2p1 on our Solaris 10 server zorn. 


I am trying to test run Amanda-2.6.1p1 on our Solaris 10 server but I am
getting the dreaded error:


        zorn->[6] > ./sbin/amcheck -c daily zorn
        Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
        --------------------------------
        WARNING: zorn: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
        Client check: 1 host checked in 30.102 seconds.  1 problem
found.

        (brought to you by Amanda 2.6.1p1-20090515)

where zorn is the Solaris 10 server. I am trying to track down why it is
getting the timeout.

I ran 

        zorn->[29] > amservice zorn bsd noop < /dev/null
        Request failed: timeout waiting for ACK

which indicates that I might be having a problem with authentication.

So I am trying to track down what might be different between the 2.5.2p1
and 2.6.1p1 installation that might cause the problem.

I ran the following inetadm commands to restart the 2.6.1p1 service.

inetadm -d svc:/network/amanda/udp:default
inetadm -e svc:/network/amanda/udp:default


Here is my /tmp/amanda debug file.

Below is my configure command to build amanda. 

./configure \
        --prefix=/local/Amanda/$AMANDAVERSION \
        --with-user=amanda \
        --with-group=operator \
        --with-gnutar=/opt/csw/bin/gtar \
        --with-gnuplot=/opt/csw/bin/gnuplot \
        --with-gnutar-listdir=/var/amanda/gnutar-lists \
        --with-includes=/opt/csw/include \
        --with-libraries=/opt/csw/lib \
        --with-index-server=zorn \
        --with-tape-server=zorn \
        --with-smbclient=/pkgs/samba/bin/smbclient \
        --with-tape-device=/dev/rmt/1bn \
        --with-changer-device=/dev/changer/1 \
        --without-ipv6 \
        --with-bsd-security \

        --disable-s3-device \
        LDFLAGS=' -L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib -L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib' \
        CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/csw/include  -I/opt/csw/include/readline
-I/usr/include' \
        PKG_CONFIG=/opt/csw/bin/pkg-config \
        CC=/pkgs/$GCCVERSION/bin/gcc \
        MT=/opt/csw/bin/mt \
        MTF="-f" \
        MTX=/opt/csw/sbin/mtx \
        PERL=/opt/csw/bin/perl 

Does anyone see anything obvious that might be causing the problem?

Do the security settings look OK in the above configure file? Is it OK
to compile with all three security settings?

Thanks

Robert
