Look at one of your amandad*debug files on the client and see if it
has the USE_AMANDAHOSTS flag. If that is not there, but BSD_SECURITY
flag is, you're using /etc/hosts.equiv or .../.rhosts rather than just
.../.amandahosts.
Another possibility is that you didn't look in the right place. What user
is running amandad (look at the inetd.conf line)? What's the home
directory for that user on the client? That's where the .amandahosts
file should be.
