Bug 72921 – xinetd loops when running amcheck (part of amanda)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Matthias Wegener 2004-11-30 06:24:45 UTC]

xinetd loops with 100% cpu-usage, when running amcheck.
amanda is set up properly (i think). 
xinetd listens on all three necessary ports
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10082           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      28008/xinetd        
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10083           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      28008/xinetd        
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10080           0.0.0.0:*                           28008/xinetd        

amcheck seems to connect to one of these ports, which in turn sends xinetd in his neverending 100%-cpu-usage loop. (strace of xinetd will be attached).

output of amcheck:
amanda@transporter amanda $ amcheck G5

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: transporter: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.002 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p4)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup amanda with xinetd
2. Run amcheck
3. Watch him loop

Actual Results:  
amcheck reports an error (selfcheck request time out. Host down?), which is 
according to the amanda-faq related to a not properly set up inetd/xinetd. (but 
i think it is set up properly)

Expected Results:  
amcheck should have told me, that everything is fine.

i'm closing this as a dupe of bug #72919, as the source of the problem is the same - amandad.
