In my ".amandahosts" file, I added the following line to make
it possible for the "root" user to run "amrecover", thus connecting
to the tape/index server :
from_machine1.allow.com root
from_machine2.allow.com root
...
These lines come after the authorization line for the amanda user
itself, "bin", in my case. e.g:
from_machine1.allow.com bin
...
I guess that it doesn't raise any security matter, provided that
the machine names are written as full qualified domain name,
and that amandahosts authentication is used , and last, that
amanda inetd services are tcp-wrapped.
