-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Debian etch, VERSION="Amanda-2.5.1p1"
One of the two clients on the DMZ has stopped responding to the server on the LAN -- both amcheck and amdump. diff says .amandahosts is identical on the 2 DMZ machines, and stat shows amcheck causing the file's access time to change on the working host, but not on the other; user backup (.deb install) can read .amandahosts; tcpdump shows udp:10080 packets from the server getting to both of them and responses from the working host but not the other; amcheck says "log.slsware.dmz: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK"; the backup reports say the results from that machine are missing. The line in inetd is "amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad" (the same on both hosts). I think inetd is working because it runs TFTP, and both the router and the PIX can write their configs to the net. (I don't know how to fire off a UDP server by remote control, but the access time of /usr/lib/amanda/amandad changes when I run amcheck). Other services on that machine work (DNS, TFTP, syslog, SSH, NTP, etc.). Nagios says all is well there (it doesn't check amandad). The PIX is between the LAN and the DMZ, but there's nothing in the PIX' log about blocking anything having to do with this. The ACL says the server can access anything, and allowing any host on the LAN to access anything makes no difference. The iptables packet filter shows nothing blocked, besides, disabling it makes no difference. selfcheck, sendsize, and sendbackup files stopped appearing in /var/log/amanda/client/sls/ directory on the dead machine. And I've reinstalled the client software. Somebody please point out the obvious thing I'm overlooking -- this has been making me crazy for 3 days now... - -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGuPSa04yQfZbbTLYRAmLvAJwKpAqW5ux+NlCeOKjuh5DNTjnS3ACgtdsO qs7+gWhNKhzeXOt14G+h1lg= =BHQ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
