as auth i am using bsdtcp. like described here in another discussion.
have ..ack error with bsd authentication. amanda server itself is
correctly working and did several backups in the last vew days. server
is running on open suse 10.1 on a i586 machine, 1 client is running on
debian 4 on a sparc machine, other is a open suse 10.1 client on amd 64
machine. both clients seem to have the same connection reset problem.
tried all which is described in other topics here. /etc/xinetd/amanda
has following data:

service amanda
{
socket_type = stream
only_from = 192.168.2.7 192.168.2.5 p400.dorg.org
linux-k67x.dorg.org
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
}

1. I am not shure if i can use static ipv4 adresses in xinetd configfiles.
2. I am not shure if on all machines the same backupuser has to be used.
sparc machine (client) is using user backup:backup, amd64 machine user
amanda:disk.
3. Firewall on AMD 64 is set to "test" mode.
4. server and amd64 client has amanda 2.5.1p2 sparc client 2.5.1p1
5. dumpdirectories, dump, and xfsdump is installed on all 3 machines.
6. i am not shure what has to be in .amandahosts file on the clients.
7. dont know which files has to be exclusive chmod/chown for amanda
backup user.
8. Ananda wiki also did not give me further informations for my specific
problem

Please help. i want to backup my clients also.

regards, harald.

Are you sure the client can resolve the server IP address?

Hello,

you were right. i forgot to enter servers adress to hosts file in /etc/ directory. now everything seems to work fine.

thanks for your help.
