Re: [Networker] Linux client not backup'ing

Olaf,

Check the following

Tcpwrappers:

Check to make sure that you /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny is setup to
allow portmap connections from your server.

For example:
/etc/hosts.allow

 portmap:   x.x.x.x

/etc/hosts.deny
 portmap: ALL (If you want to deny all other rpc traffic)

Also check to make sure that your debian load does not have a default
iptables script in place.  Print out iptables with

 iptable -L

And review the rules.  For more informaiton on how to work with IPTABLES do
a google search on it.  You will find MORE than enough information.  Also
make sure that if you do have any iptables rules that you allow localhost on
the RPC port.

Hope this info helps.

Subject: [Networker] Linux client not backup'ing

Hi,

one of our Linux clients is not backed up. When I start the group, I see tcp
connections on the server, but only to the nsrexec process. I just tested it
with another client that works fine, it has connections not only to nsrexec,
  but also to nsrindexd and nsrmmd.

The client is Debian 3.0, BTW - but I do not think that this is a problem. I
know that NW 6.1.4 works fine on Debian, even as a server.

One funny thing on the server is that "rpcinfo -p localhost" fails, but
nevertheless all other 53 clients work great.

Any ideas?

Olaf
