amcheck fail "selfcheck request failed: is not local"

[maurok]

Hi All, I'm brand new in using amanda and starting my first install.

So far I was able to succesfully make backups of local files and folders, but when add a remote host I get the following error on amcheck and amdump:

WARNING: example.com: selfcheck request failed: example.com: is not local

Let's assume example.com is the hostname for the remote client.

The remote host is correctly configured, I checked by running "amservice example.com bsdtcp noop < /dev/null" and getting "OPTIONS features=ffffffff9ffeffffffff7f;" from the server side so assumed everythig from that side is ok. This leaves me with a problem in the server configuration.

The disklist is standarly configured:

localhost       /etc                            simple-gnutar-local
localhost       /jboss                          simple-gnutar-local
localhost       /usr/local/etc                  simple-gnutar-local
localhost       /storage/backup-intranet        simple-gnutar-local
example.com   /var/www/fe                     simple-gnutar-local
example.com   /u                              simple-gnutar-local

Firewall is down and SELINUX is disabled.

I've crawled into source code and found this error "host: is not local" comes from common-src/local-security.c local_connect function which I guess is for localhost connecting, but in my install is using it to connect to the remote host and hence failing. This is the validation which is failing:

if (!g_str_equal(hostname, myhostname) &&
	match("^localhost(\\.localdomain)?$", hostname) == 0) {
	security_seterror(&rh->sech,
	    _("%s: is not local"), hostname);
	(*fn)(arg, &rh->sech, S_ERROR);
	return;
    }

Line 128 of https://github.com/zmanda/amanda/blob/master/common-src/local-security.c

What am I missing? is there any configuration to refer to remote hosts instead of local?

Thanks in advance!

Mauro

You can't use the 'local' auth to connect to a remote host.
Use the 'bsdtcp' auth to connect to a remote host.
