amanda looks for the .amandahosts file in the home directory of the bin
user?
What is the home directory of the bin user? Is it / or /home/bin, the
default is /.
So you must create the /.amandahosts file like amanda told you to do,
have you tried it?
It is bad to use a user that have privilege, you should not use 'bin'.

I am running amanda server 3.1.0 on ubuntu server 10.10 trying to back

Freebsd 5.2.1 and amanda client 2.5.1p3. These machines are right
next to each other and
not connected to the internet. Therefore auth=bsd is ok for now.
I am receiving this error when runing "sudo -u backup amcheck Daily"
ERROR: NAK r4p17: user backup from rmt170 is not allowed to execute

The "//.amandahosts" seems strange to me.
The freebsd amanda client is set to run as bin.
The ubuntu amanda server is set to run as backup.
