Since Olivier wrote that he only used xinetd once, I figured I’d best chime in.
I use it all the time (not that I know very much about it). Here are parts of
my CHECKLIST
for a new node:
yum install openssh-server
yum install xinetd
yum install dump (xfsdump is problematic)
yum install mtx
yum install mt-st
yum remove xfsdump
Add a file with the name .amandahosts to the <backup-user> home directory with
these contents:
backup-server.full.name <backup-user> amdump amindexd
chmod 600 /home/<backup-user>/.*amandahosts #it insists on this
My xinetd start file matches yours, as quoted in a recent email.
service amanda
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = <backup-user>
group = root #whatever you are using
server = /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad
#wherever your file actually IS
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
groups = yes
}
/sbin/service xinetd restart # restart xinetd
If they don't already exist, add these in /etc/services
amanda 10080/udp # Dump server control
amidxtape 10083/tcp # Amanda tape indexing
amandaidx 10082/tcp # Amanda recovery program
ON SERVER: new node:
add to disklist file
add to /etc/sysconfig/iptables and restart with
/sbin/service iptables restart # if you have iptables
running
add to .amandahosts
Test a simple backup (without using up a tape). On SERVER:
amdump <config> --no-taper <newclientnode> / # or any DLE that’s small
=======================
Any of this help?
