FC4 iptables and amanda

[David G. Miller]

I'm attempting to set up my laptop as an amanda client.  If I stop 
iptables, everything appears to work which tells me that my amanda 
configuration is correct on both the client and the server.  I've got 
the usual ports open to my server for amanda (10080 and 10081 for both 
tcp and udp, 10082 and 10083 for tcp only).  Lots of Googling seems to 
indicate the problem is with amanda using random, high udp ports in 
addition to the known ports.  I've tried loading ip_conntrack_amanda and 
changing the timeout but I'm still getting a selfcheck tmeout.  The 
laptop is running the current FC4 64 bit kernel and amanda is also current.

I can always use the workaround of just stopping iptables when I'm on my 
home network or allowing any udp connections from my server's address 
but these both sound rather kludgey.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Is 
ip_conntrack_amanda broken for 64 bit kernels?  Are there some magical 
parameters to ip_conntrack_amanda I need to know about?

Thanks,
Dave
