The client doesn't have a name for that IP address. You can either fix DNS
or add it to /etc/hosts on the client.

Subject: Strange error while adding new client


Sgih, seems like lately every time I go to add a new client I have to
bother this list :-(

My apologies.

Heresthe lates problem:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: phse7: [addr 170.85.109.160: hostname lookup failed]

phse7 is the client and  170.85.109.160 (phse6) is the tapeserver. A
nslookup, ping etc from phse7 to phse6 works. phse6 is in ~/amanda/.rhosts.
I am fetting this message in the client debug file alos (amandad.debug0

amandad: sending REP packet:
----
Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 001-400208C8 SEQ 984596811
ERROR [addr 170.85.109.160: hostname lookup failed]

amandad: version 2.4.2p1

What have I overlooked this time?
