You mean: localhost.localdomain amanda host.domain amanda Regardless, I did say in my first message and my followup to your reply that I had a .amandahosts file on my Linux client machine. The fix was this: On the RH7.1 client machine, it was not correct to have the line "serverhost.domain amanda". I needed the line "serverhost amanda". On my HP clients, it was sufficient to have the line "serverhost.domain amanda" in the .amandahosts file. The reason this might be is that my Linux boxes do NOT have FQDNs as their hostname, which seems to be the RH default. I set the domain name in /etc/resolv.conf only. Setting the machine name with the FQDN is ugly.
