Hi Folks,
I have read the FAQ-o-matic and nothing seems to describe what I am
seeing below. As you will notice, amanda fails with a hostname lookup
but nslookup and ping both work fine to the host I am trying to get too.
I am not worried about the selfcheck request, I know what that is.
I also have a small problem with the IP address that is in the ERROR
message. It is incorrect and is the IP address of the amanda server.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
