Yes, the clients are using Amanda 2.4.2 with the Krb4 patches.

I would agree, the patches are several releases backward, and in a perfect
world (well, my perfect world <grin>), Amanda would fully support Krb5 and
be done with it. :) Alas, it is not the case.
Before I loose brain cells debugging this; is there a better way to handle
client authentication inside Amanda? Perhaps a way to exchange RSA/DSA
keys; or some other challenge authentication method? I don't care about
SSH tunneling at this point, I just want to have a way to authenticate the
amanda user on the client box w/o resorting to RHosts. (which is a line I
won't cross, or my security officer and my conscience would have my head) :)
Thanks for any input you can provide.
