Dear List, trying to restore a remote disk, I telneted to the remote host, launched amrecover, only to be greeted by the above mentioned access denied message. What's wrong with my config? amserver: tape & index host client: host to restore partially on host client: # amrecover AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on amserver.local ... 220 amserver AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. 500 Access not allowed:[acces as operator not allowed from client.local] amandahostsauth failed # su -m operator > amrecover amrecover: amrecover must be run by root Ummm... here's .amadahosts from amserver:# --- localhost amserver amserver.local client root operator client.local root operator --- Thanks in advance -Christoph Sold
