hello,

 I meet a problem while configuring my backup server
 (lets call it 'theserver')
 note : 'theserver' is also an amanda client.

 * amanda is compiled with the "--with-amandahosts" flag

 * my amanda user is 'bin' ('disk' group), 

 * the ~bin/.amandahosts file contains
   a line with "theserver"

 when I try an "amcheck -c <config_name>",
 the server will first try to check the client
 connection to himself, and returns the 
 following message:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: theserver: [access as bin not allowed from root@theserver]

 All permissions seems ok on my server, and rsh/rlogin
 connection is allowed.
 Does someone have an idea of what's happening?

thanks,

Pierre.
