That's the bitch of it...it IS resolved: via nslookup, via ping--ANYTHING but Amanda.
It's bizarre. I'm getting ready to compile amanda from source to see if it's a
problem with the rpm on the client. Rpm installs are OK sometimes--other times, I'd
rather not deal with 'em.
anyone else wanna take a stab at this?
thanks anyways,
bryan

The problem being reported is that redhat2.pine-cone.com can't resolve the
address 172.16.3.1. Either add it to your local DNS, or /etc/hosts.
