Connection reset by peer

[Adina]

I get a warning when running amcheck:
Client Hosts Check.... selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer

Does anyone know what might be the problem? I get debug files in /tmp/amanda on the client.

Can you please post information from /tmp/amanda/selfcheck log file? If you are using
2.5.1 or later release, please look for log file under /tmp/amanda/<configuration name>/client/ directory.

Adina,

It appears amandad is not starting properly. Can you try running it by hand as "amandabackup" user?

/usr/lib/amanda/amandad
