The FreeBSD machine is a couple of orsers of mafnitude faster than the HP-UX machin, yet I;m having problems with losing network conections during the backup sessions. The Amanda clients are not tolerant of this, and I lose the backup session. I'm susecting a networking probem. The network is a simple 10base2 cable, and the FreeBSD machine has always been an Amanda client, which worked without a problem. I'm wondering if I'm not runing into a deliberate rate limiting issue on the FreebSD machine. If for instnace I "ping -f" it, I get a bunch of lsot packets, and a console message about limiting ping response times.
