Backup Central

Comment it out.
The added benefit of this test is not as strong as it used to be, in
these days where everybody can be root on his PC, and connect from a
reserved (<1024) port.

thanks for your help. I just tried what you suggested and now
amcheck passes all tests but when it comes to amdump I receive
the following error email from amanda:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
[HOST-IN-DMZ] [DIR-OF-HOST-IN-DMZ] lev 0 FAILED [disk [DIR-OF-HOST-IN-DMZ], all
estimate failed]

It kinda looks to me like there is no data passed from the host in
the dmz to the amanda backup server.

I'm pretty sure I have to tweak something at our firewall but I
have absolutely no idea what to do there

Any ideas?

Thanks!

From a posting here (can be found in the archives) I remember that you
have to open more ports than just 5 ...

The options I have pasted from that old mail and since then in my
setup:

./configure --with-tcpportrange=50000,50040 --with-udpportrange=890,899

Have a start at

Nice circular reference, as Paul pointed out to me.

More general:

Search for the given options at
