What are the exact contents of .amandahosts on the client?

In amandas home dir. root doesn't even have .amandahosts

That I know. But, the fact is there's nothing wrong with it.

I have about two dozen machines setup in exactly the same way that this one 
is. All of them work... This is because I compiled amanda client and made a 
tgz package that I install on each machine... And then change the 
.amandahosts file...

Well I'll double check, but I can be pretty sure that everything is setup 
exactly like it is on all the other hosts.

You get a message saying Banzai !
Did you install the WWII - japanese slang add-on to Amanda ?

Ehm
do you have the .amandahosts in user amandas homedir ?
or only in roots homedir ?

The amanda FAQ (docs/FAQ in the source tree) sez this

Q: Why does `amcheck' say `access as  not allowed...'
 
A: There must be something wrong with .amandahosts configuration (or
.rhosts, if you have configured --without-amandahosts).
 
   First, if the  is not what you expect (i.e., not what you
have specified in the --with-user flag, at configure time), check the
inetd configuration file: you must have specified the wrong username
there.
 
   Make sure you specify the names exactly as they appear in the error
message after the `@' sign in .amandahosts/.rhosts.  You'll need a
fully-qualified domain name or not, depending on how your client
resolves IP addresses to host names.

access as amanda not allowed from amanda@foo.sys.si.tlan] amandahostsauth failed

2001-02-14 Thread David Klasinc

Banzai!

 I get the above message when trying to backup one specific host. Client and 
server are bot v2.4.2 and if I do amcheck as root then everything works fine, 
if I do it as user amanda, then it fails. I have users root and amanda in 
.amandahosts.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
