Well,  this one is what we just did.   However,  the file is rather picky about 
its permissions:
   (operator  is my backup account).  Oh,  and make sure the line reads exactly 
as requested, above.
-rw-------  1 operator root  2875 Aug 29 14:09 .amandahosts

I gather these are where your logs are supposed to go?   (the default value is  
/tmp/amanda,  I think)
My permissions are,  where OPERATOR  is my backup  account.

drwxr-xr-x.  7 operator root     4096 Dec 14 07:00 amanda

What’s the permission on your  “/var/log”   itself  ?   If you don’t want *IT*  
to be owned by  “backup”
you may need to specify a directory under it.    /var/log/amanda  perhaps.
Though,  if your backups are currently working,
it’s probably okay.   It’s just the recover   that isn’t going,  right now.

directories under that are created at need,  i think,  and come up with
drwx------  2 operator root 4096 Dec 14 17:30 amandad
drwx------  5 operator root 4096 Dec 14 17:30 client
drwx------  2 operator root 4096 Dec 14 04:47 log.error
drwx------  5 operator root 4096 Dec 14 17:30 server
    (you won’t get all until needed)
  Those match yours.

So, maybe I haven’t added anything new?    Or did this prompt a change, above?
