Is there a way to determine what configuration options were compiled 
into a particular amanda build? Is this the header information in the 
top of an amandad.debug file?  If so, then where is there indication 
about '.amandahosts'?

I have re-configured with the WITHOUT-amanda-hosts <sic> option and I 
am still getting amandad debug files indicating an ERROR due to:

    "open of //.amandahosts failed"


which shows that, I do not have a home directory for amanda on this 
client... My environment is on where rsh and hosts.equiv are 
routinely used.

I did not think a home directory for the amanda user was necessary on 
the amanda clients...  especially if one was building for use without 
the amandahosts file...

I am very sure -- after about 3 re-compiles on both the server (tape 
host) and the client -- that the amandahosts option should not be 
enabled....

What am I missing?

thanks...
