No.  Amanda does not use rsh.

Read the amcheck message carefully.  The host name it reports is "daphne"
rather than "daphne.webcom.de".  So you need this in the file:

  daphne               amanda

However, this error might indicate a system misconfiguration on daphne.
It says that when Amanda (or any other program) does a reverse lookup
of the IP address for daphne, it does not get back a fully qualified
host name.  That's usually a bad thing, and you need to talk to whoever
set up your name system (DNS, /etc/hosts or whatever) about why that
is happening.
