You'll need to make sure that "operator"'s home directory is where you think
it is. On FreeBSD, it seems to be "/" by default, and that is where amandad
is looking for the file. You'll also want to make sure that the permissions
on the file are correct. The following works for me:
> ls -l /.amandahosts
-r-------- 1 operator operator 27 Aug 6 21:46 /.amandahosts
I'm guessing that in your case, "/.amandahosts" either does not exist or
is owned by root. If you would rather put that file somewhere else,
you'll need to change the operator user's home directory.
