Because the host key is not known. Try: ssh ng.oops.intern -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -l amanda and accept the host key.
ssh doesn't use xinetd. Jean-Louis Stefan G. Weichinger wrote:

The client runs 2.5.1p3 and has # cat /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf auth "ssh" ssh_keys "/root/.ssh/id_rsa" id_rsa.pub is in the authorized_keys of the amanda-user on the server. -- amdump via ssh-auth works fine. Any hints on this? Doesn't "auth=ssh" have to be in the xinetd-entry on the server as well? I can't find clear infos on how to edit the xinetd.d-file for ssh-only. Thanks, Stefan.
