Which release of amanda?
Are you sure you are running the newly compiled amcheck? Use the full
patch when running it and show me the file is recent with 'ls -l'.
Post the configure output, did it find the ssh binary?
Post the output of make, did it compiled the ssh-security.c file?

hi...
I compiled amanda on freebsd 7.0 with SSH security activated...
since the port had some bug, after fixing, the configure output starts
like this:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec/amanda

so to me it looks like SSH security is activated, and there are no
problems during compilation.
however, with this configuration
[...SNIP...]
define dumptype tar {
comment "Default backup method, using GNU-tar and no holding
disk"
compress none
exclude list "/etc/amanda/daily-exclude"
holdingdisk auto
index yes
program "GNUTAR"
record yes
index yes
tape_splitsize 20 GB # split dumps, to reduce disc usage;
size=tapesize/10
}
define dumptype ssh-tar {
tar
auth "ssh"
ssh_keys "/home/amanda/.ssh/id_rsa"
client_username "amanda"
}
[...SNIP...]
amcheck on this job always fails with this messages:
# sudo -u amanda amcheck daily

I followed the instructions from the wiki
(http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Set_up_transport_encryption_with_SSH),
but no success to get SSH authentication to work.
any hints, on what is going wrong?
are there any package requirements when using SSH authentication?
