Hi Christoph, try the following entries in your .amandahosts: --- client.local root client.local operator --- Maybe the parser don't expect more than one user after host. Be sure that the servername is exactly the same string in .amandahosts as amrecover will expect; i.e.: 500 Access not allowed:[acces as root not allowed from amserver.local.domain.com .amandahosts: => amserver.local.domain.com root cheers, Christian > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Christoph Sold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 27.
