I will weep because my faith in Debian has just been challenged, not because I must compile. :) > Try editing .amandahosts first ... Tried that, didn't help. As Joshua Baker-LePain pointed out in his email to me, it would probably help you all to help me if I would provide more details. I.e. logs, configs, etc. But I do not wish to pursue this any further. I am in the process of building Amanda for my server from source. Then the clients and I will retry. It just doesn't make sense to try and get this working from .deb's and .rpm's. > That the debian-maintainer builds packages with localhost shows that > he does not know about the problems he triggers. > > And this is not the fault of AMANDA. True. I don't see how he has much of a choice. You MUST compile for the machine currently. His way will basically work fine for a local machine backup running everything in Amanda, but not much use for network backups. > The discussion about the hard coded stuff is an old one. How old? You would think this would be a fairly high priority fix for newer versions. > As you have all the config-structures (directories and such) > already, it won't be too much effort to install your own binaries. Agreed. Michael
