Hi Kevin:
It seems to be a problem with the .amandahosts file. As amcheck
detects an error while verifying client access.

I would try with the fully qualified host name, and then just amanda
as follows:
admin.jhuccp.org amanda

The only one that you need is the one located at the amanda user�s
home directory.

The only other one that I can think of is if you have a .rhosts file,
in which case you must add the same line you have in the .amandahosts
file.
Can you verify if the .amandahosts file is accessed each time you run
amcheck? Did you configured and installed amanda yourself or was it
preinstalled in your system? This info may help also to find oout a
solution.
Good luck to you ... Ana Maria
