I (believe) i ran into the same bug: minnie:~# amrecover -C $myconfig AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on localhost ... [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK] minnie:~# amrecover -C $myconfig -s localhost AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on localhost ... [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]
but this works (!) minnie:~# amrecover -C fizzback -s 127.0.0.1 AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on 127.0.0.1 ... NAK: user root from localhost is not allowed to execute the service amindexd: Please add "amindexd amidxtaped" to the line in /home/backup/.amandahosts on the client (ignore the permission bit - the important thing is that it actually ends up *talking* to amandad...) Looking at the strace(1) output of amrecover, i see this: sendto(3, "Amanda 2.5 REQ HANDLE 000-0000000"..., 136, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(10080), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = 136 towards the end... So perhaps the problem is that amrecover is trying to use IPv6, rather than IPV4? My versions: * amanda-client: 1:2.5.2p1-4 * amanda-common: 1:2.5.2p1-4 * libc6: 2.7-16 * openbsd-inetd: 0.20080125-2 Hope this helps -- Karl E.
