I'm looking for a clue for troubleshooting a new amandaclient install. My main problem is that this hasn't been worked on in about 5 years...
I have a dozen clients, including two ubuntu GNU/Linux, and we are trying to add one more. This one happens to be Ubuntu/Linux on VMWARE. I can ssh into the new server without password. Is there a way to confirm that amanda is running as the correct user on the new client? Also, I was unable to locate the dumptypes file. I suspect that's where "noop" is referenced. The error is below - and I found the same text in the amandad log on the client.
