Remote Host Connection (Centos)

[lad]

Hi all,

I'm testing Amanda backup on Centos 4.4.
For now, Backup and restore are working well locally, but I'm not able to get remote connection!

Server side:

.amandahosts

localhost amandabackup amdump
localhost.localdomain amandabackup amdump
localhost root amindexd amidxtaped
localhost.localdomain root amindexd amidxtaped
bck02 amandabackup amdump
bck02.e-adresse.be amandabackup amdump
bck02 root amindexd amidxtaped
bck02.e-adresse.be root amindexd amidxtaped
host1.e-address.be amandabackup

On client side

service amanda

only_from = bck02.e-address.be
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amandabackup
group = disk

server_args = -auth=bsd amdump

}

.amandahosts

bck02.e-address.be amandabackup

My guest is that is auth problem! But...
Do I have to use ssh auth? If yes how?

I installed :

amanda-backup_client-2.5.1p3-1.rhel4.i386.rpm
amanda-backup_server-2.5.1p3-1.rhel4.i386.rpm

Thanks
to all

Check if only_from field in the xinetd configuration on server and client is correct.
You have the same value on both places and I think client name is webmail.adam-family.be

Thanks.

But I think it's normal as only the Amanda backup server should be referenced there. To be sure, I have added client name, but problem is still present.

Please close ticket.

Problem was due to the fact that my FW acts also as internal router and was doing NAT bewteen internal LANs.

Thanks
