Bug 1299761

EL7 contains amanda-3.3.3-13.el7.x86_64 which has the same bug

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1033896 +++

Description of problem:

I can't run amrecover


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

amanda-3.3.3-4.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:

Since system was upgrade from older version to one where amanda is started by systemd


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# amrecover -C host
AMRECOVER Version 3.3.3. Contacting server on host ...


Actual results:

NAK: amindexd: invalid service, add 'amindexd' as argument to amandad


Expected results:

Connection to amindexd


Additional info:

Temporary workaround:

Since file in /etc/xinetd.d/ was now replaced by this systemd configuration I think it would make more sense:

either try to use /etc/sysconfig/amanda for adjusting the ExecStart arguments
or use them as default, but then default restriction should be in place somehow

Still not fixed in F20 with amanda-3.3.3-9.fc20.x86_64

Of course the workaround isn't something you should actually do; either copy the amanda@.service file to /etc/systemd/system and edit it there, or set up an override.

I wonder if it isn't possible for the amanda-server package to set up its own override; the base amanda package would create /lib/systemd/system/amanda@.service.d and amanda-server would drop in a .conf file containing:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/amandad -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped

I'm not sure if that's just too much magic.
