Hi, I'm setting up Amanda 3.3.4 (CentOS 6.4), following to "Amanda in 15 Minutes" guide (btw, seems like a very optimistic title!).
I can't get passwordless ssh working between server and client with the amandabackup user. I've followed the instructions in the doc which were to manually copy the public key, and I've also generated new keys on the server using ssh-keygen and copied them using ssh-copy-id onto the client. It *does* work between these machines as user root, and between other users, and between amandabackup on the server and another user on the client. I read online that someone thought the user on the login machine has to have their home dir in /home (or /root, presumably, for root). What I see so far suggests this might be right, as it works from amandabackup user on the server to another user on the client when the other user has their home dir in /home. However, it also works if I create a user with a home dir in /tmp. I have the ownership and permissions setup correctly for /var/lib/amandabackup/.ssh and its files. Has anyone else seen this issue, or have any ideas? Thanks -M
