Ok, I'll give this a shot. I'm hesitant to recompile or rebuild
because it works, but this would be something I need to do eventually
anyway, so I'll take that step now.
BTW, docs/INSTALL in the distribution says, "usernames must be present
in every line, because this is safer." Which implies to me that
"changing .amandahosts on the client to contain only the amanda server
hostname" won't work.
