OK, then here are a couple of other things to try. Is the .amandahosts
file being accessed when you do amcheck? For instance, does "ls -lu"
show a time change?
Note that "ls" only shows things to the minute, so if you have some
other utility that shows more accurate atime output, that would be useful.
If it is being accessed, you need to look at the contents again.
Make sure you don't have any extra whitespace at the beginning or end
of the line (I seem to recall fixing a bug w.r.t. that a while back).
And make sure there aren't unprintible characters hiding.
It should handle either blanks or tabs between the host name and user
name, but you might try switching between what you have and the other.
If that does not help, go to the common-src directory of your Amanda
build and "make security". Take that program ("security") back over to
the client and run it **as operator**. It will ask you for the remote
host and remote user. Enter those exactly as the amcheck error message
reports and see what the program has to say. It basically does a verbose
check just like amandad (using the same code).
