amrecover amindexd

[coolhandluke]

I am getting the following message when I attempt amrecover on the client:

AMRECOVER Version 3.3.1. Contacting server on ZMANDA.SERVER.DOMAIN ...
NAK: amindexd: invalid service, add 'amindexd' as argument to amandad


Here is the /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts file on the client:

localhost amandabackup amdump
localhost.localdomain amandabackup amdump
ZMANDA.SERVER.DOMAIN amandabackup amdump
ZMANDA.SERVER.DOMAIN root amdump amservice


Here is the /etc/xinetd.d/amandaclient file on the client:

service amanda
{
disable = no
flags = IPv4
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}

Here is the output of the latest /var/log/amanda/client/DailySet1/amrecover.20120319124931.debug:

Did you ever get this resolved? I have the exact same problem, and I'm not sure where else to look!

For my output, SUEZ is the backup server and www is the backup client. I can SSH into SUEZ from www just fine using the same private key, and amdump worked perfectly fine, it's just amrecover that's the problem.

In my case, here is the amanda-client.conf:
conf "web_server"
index_server "SUEZ"
tape_server "SUEZ"
auth "ssh"
ssh_keys "/var/lib/amanda/.ssh/id_rsa_amrecover"
client_username="amandabackup"

Here is /etc/xinetd.d/amandaserver (and I did restart xinetd after setting all of these settings):
service amanda
{
disable = no
flags = IPv4
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=ssh amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}

Here is the output from running amrecover web_server:
NAK: amindexd: invalid service, add 'amindexd' as argument to amandad

And here is the associated amandad debug file:

The xinetd is not use for ssh, you can remove it.

read: man amanda-auth

The amandad argument goes in the server authorized_keys, you must prepend the key with something like:
from="amanda_client.your.domain.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,command="/absolute/path/to/amandad -auth=ssh amindexd amidxtaped"

Wow... that makes a lot of sense, and I can connect just fine now. I am having other issues later on in amrecover, but I'll attempt to resolve them myself. I'm still new to this (it's only my second day using amanda). Thanks martineau!
