Yes. You need to recompile the entire distribution when you change any of the configuration directives to ensure that all portions of the Amanda set agree with each other. On any modern system, this doesn't take very long and is good insurance that Amanda will work as expected.
In particular, the client and server both need to know that a portrange is in effect, since that affects both the server (knowing which ports to use to connect to the client) and the client (knowing which ports to expect connections on). Since it is the server making the connection to the client to do a backup, the server must know about the port range, since it chooses the ports to use for the connections. Don Donald L.

The reason I'm asking is that the client has a firewall installed...but not the server. I also have other clients that do not have the strict UDP and TCP portranges established at compile time. Thank You. -- Luc Lalonde, analyste --------------------------------------------------------------------- D�partement de g�nie informatique: �cole polytechnique de Montr�al (514) 340-4711 x5049 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- War is good for business, invest your son! --------------------------------------------------------------------- ************************************************************************ This e-mail and any of its attachments may contain Exelon Corporation proprietary information, which is privileged, confidential, or subject to copyright belonging to the Exelon Corporation family of Companies.
