Amanda (amandad on the client) took the IP number of the host connecting to it (the Amanda server) and did a gethostbyaddr on it. That returned "relay-gw.irs.dev". Whether it used DNS or not depends on how you set up your system. Use this little test program to do exactly what Amanda does: ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/gethostbyaddr.c >Question 2: gnu tar is in the path, and is version 1.13, I deleted >config.cache, and rebuilt amanda, but it's still not available. As Joshua said, 1.13 is seriously evil, but that would not have caused Amanda to report it missing. What did ./configure say when it tried to find GNU tar? For instance, here's what mine says: checking for gtar... /opt/tar/bin/gtar If all else fails, you can use --with-gnutar=/path/to/gnu/tar to force ./configure to find it (rememeber to remove config.cache between each change).
