Here's all I've got: On the client:
/etc/passwd: amanda:x:600:20:Back Amanda:/usr/people/amanda:/bin/bash /usr/people/amanda/.amandahosts: server amanda server.ourdomain amanda server's ip address amanda /etc/inetd.conf: amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/amanda/libexec/amandad amandad /etc/services: amanda 10080/udp # amanda backup program amandaidx 10082/tcp amidxtape 10083/tcp IRix version 6.5 Amanda version 2.4.2p2 On, the server the amanda user is the same as on the client, and the client's ip address is in /etc/hosts. Hope this helps.
